[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 553591, member: 24910"] As has been mentioned (or has it?) the Blues have named [URL="http://nz.sports.yahoo.com/rugby/news/article/-/16252326/unchanged-blues-expect-near-test-intensity/"]an unchanged lineup[/URL]: Charles Piutau, Frank Halai, Rene Ranger, Francis Saili, George Moala, Chris Noakes, Piri Weepu, Peter Saili, Luke Braid, Steven Luatua, Ali Williams (capt), Culum Retallick, Charlie Faumuina, James Parsons, Tom McCartney. [I]Reserves:[/I] Quentin MacDonald, Angus Ta'avao, Liaki Moli, Brendon O'Connor, Bryn Hall, Baden Kerr, Jackson Willison. This is not surprising given there strong performance last weekend. The Crusaders lineup it reasonably predictable, I'm just not convinced about the make-up of the back three. They have limited options with Guildford and McNicholl out, but I don't think a Whitelock/Dagg (out of position)/Taylor combination is going to scare anyone. I'm surprised Tom Marshall wasn't included, as he is a talented young player, and a genuine attacking threat. [/QUOTE]
