[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 517026, member: 24910"] I love this time of year. After the Highlanders inevitably miss out on the playoffs I become a Crusaders supporter by default. It is nice to support a good team for a change :) By the sounds of it Read is a 50:50 chance of starting for the Crusaders this week. It will be a massive boost for the Crusaders if he is fit, as I think he is the single most important player in the Crusaders at the moment - in a team that includes McCaw and Carter that is certainly saying something! I'd predict the following 22 for the Crusaders: B Franks, Flynn, O Franks, Romano, S Whitelock, G Whitelock, McCaw, Read, Ellis, Carter, Guildford, Crotty, Fruean, A Whitelock, Dagg Bench: MacDonald, Crockett, Donnelly, Todd, Heinz, Taylor, Maitland. Personally I'd prefer if Maitland and Adam Whitelock swapped places, but I think Blackadder will stick with Whitelock in the starting lineup. The only real question mark is LH prop, as I think it is 50:50 whether they start Crockett or Ben Franks. If Read is out I'd expect we will see 7. Todd, 8. McCaw, 19. L Whitelock (like last week).
