[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 413435, member: 24910"] The Crusaders should start this game as firm favourites, particularly due to the travel factor the Sharks have to overcome. In addition the Crusaders have had some good news on the injury front, with Sonny Bill Williams, Sean Maitland, and Khan Fotuali'i expected to be available for selection this week. I'd imagine SBW and Maitland will go straight back into the starting lineup. The weather forecast for Nelson isn't looking great, so it may end up being a tight forward oriented battle. EDIT: [URL="http://www.worldcupweb.com/rugby/news/viewarticle.asp?id=30912"]Crusaders team named[/URL]: 1. Wyatt Crockett 2. Corey Flynn 3. Owen Franks 4. Brad Thorn 5. Sam Whitelock 6. George Whitelock 7. Matt Todd 8. Kieran Read (c) 9. Andy Ellis 10. Dan Carter 11. Zac Guildford 12. Sonny Bill Williams 13. Robbie Fruean 14. Sean Maitland 15. Tom Marshall Replacements : 16. Quentin MacDonald 17. Ben Franks 18. Luke Romano 19. Jonathan Poff 20. Kahn Fotuali'i 21. Matt Berquist 22. Ryan Crotty/Brent Ward SBW, Maitland, and Fotuali'i are back as predicted, with Wyatt Crockett returning to the starting XV in place of Ben Franks. Having both SBW and Maitland back will be huge for the Crusaders, as it adds two more attacking weapons to the already dangerous Crusaders backline. The Crusaders will be happy to have close to a full strength squad to pick from again, with only three players Richie McCaw (foot), Israel Dagg (thigh) and Adam Whitelock (chest muscle) not considered due to injury.
