CruSadists v Drua 20/05/22 at Addington Recreation, Sports & Events

Big opportunity for CruSadists to at least temporarily claim second place on the Table...

Coldie Taylor an early scratching with rib cartilage sprain. Good news is that (a) he doesn't need a scan & may well be back next week & (b) there's plenty of cover in the form of Ricky Jackson, Shilo Klein, Brodie McAlister & George Bell. George Bower likely to be rested under the player welfare protocol.

Cool, damp & breezy evening in prospect at A.R.S.E.

Edit: rain has stopped & breeze has dropped. Still only 7C, but.

Fainga’anuku gets his 11th try of the season early. Includes two hat tricks & according to Nisbo no one has ever gotten three in a Super Rugby season. You'd be a brave man to say Leicester won't be the first to do it.

 

[Pokinacha]

This ref: crusader touched the ball, turnover penalty.

 

[Dismal Pillock]

Cantabs insensitive towards the development of rugby for the Pacific Island people.

And it wasn't like the Drua ran out the white flag, they were still seemingly giving it everything to the end.

I think maybe *someone* thinks Loss Bleus' Coronation Procession is about to go horribly wrong...
