So we getting to see how Solomona goes as a starter. I interested to see thet, as well as how RTS (Roger Tuivasa-Sheck) goes coming back from injury.
For Canes I pleased to see Walker Leawere back starting, as we need his size I think. I a bit surprised about Rayasi, but got fingers crossed he plays one of hos good games. I taking it if he struggles, Solomona will go to wing and PUJ to 13.

Sully, listen mate I will give you my defintive answer on Saturday morning. I think Blues for and hour or 2 then go, bloody Crusaders will have something up their sleeve. Think I have flipped 2-3 times this week.
If Blues forward can get going as well as they capable of, I reckon they could well do it. Backlines are prttye even, but if it tight I quite like BB's ability to play test like rugby. By same token, if RM gets a bit of room...... and a lot of that will be how Havili goes as I reckon in NZ rugby this year particularly Crusaders, it's tended to be 12 that takes ball of 9 from set play. Perofeta will also be important for Blues for same reason.
Geez thanks guys. My Superbru picks are totally cleared up now.

Blues need to go full boom chakalaka Onehunga Mall ram raid for this opening 10 mins, just like they did against the Highlanders. If the Crusaders can noodle out the yellow card without conceding anything more than a penalty, or, heaven forbid, score a try, then funny and unpleasant things might happen.
