[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 627530, member: 24910"] Looking at that Crusaders lineup I'm not as confident of a win as I was earlier in the week. Having Crockett & Romano in the starting side will certainly help the Crusaders get more go-forward ball. I feel the Crusaders will miss George Whitelock (as he is still better than his brother Luke), but it is good to see Taufua on the bench. Todd I think is a slight upgrade over McCaw too, as McCaw was slowly building into the season (and Todd looks in great form). I'm not surprised Heinz has been given the start - he will certainly help deliver the backline quicker ball. Sounds like there have been quite a few injuries in the Crusaders outside backs, forcing Dagg to start on the wing. Dagg struggled the last time he started on the wing (versus the Blues last season) - hopefully he has a better game this weekend. I'm glad to see McNicholl back starting, but he will have to be at his best marking Aplon. Looking at the two sides I still think the Crusaders are clear favourites (though not by as much as I was initially thinking). I'm picking the Crusaders by 10-15. [/QUOTE]
