To take note:

C for Crusaders: A look at the best maul defence in Super Rugby

With three consecutive Super Rugby titles in the last three seasons, its no wonder that there’s lots to like about the Crusaders. Everything from their ability to seemingly score from anywher…

I hope Joe is working on this

 

[cyclopath]

Word is Gordon, Lolesio and Flook out; McDermott, Donaldson, Ikitau and Lancaster in.

Lancaster on the bench for Pietsch?

Dunno. Tough for Pietsch to not get on then get dropped.

Donaldson has had a lot of attention on socials.
You'd have to assume Gordon and Lolesio on the bench.

Great to see Lenny back

 

[KiwiM]

Doran suggesting Nic White will be the bench 9

 

[Joe Blow]

I think Gordon has solidified himself as first choice for now. Good to give Tate and Nic White some game time. I also hear Wilson is to play in the back row with Valetini and McReight. That should be interesting and give us a powerful pack to counter the Georgians.

 

[Cauliflower Ear]

Everybody knows that the maul defence s*cks so the Georgian are gonna target that. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

So pick the best defender of maul in the squad and train your f*cking maul defence

would argue that maul defense isn’t a selection issue but more coaching and gameplan. The sh*t maul defence hopefully stems from a lack of time together under the coaching staff.

just watching the u20 wallabies vs georgia game, they will be a very good challenge for our fowards at the set piece but will hopefully tire and provide opportunities to our backline to gain confidence.

Surely Ikitau would be 13?

Doran has Valetini and McReight in the backrow alongside Wilson. I hope that is the way they go, it would be ideal for Harry to get time with both McReight and McDermott on the field to make the most of their excellent combination.

I think I read somewhere it was an all QLD front row so Faesslar (or even Nasser) at 2

I think they'll keep Kellaway and Wright in the starting team

 

[fatprop]

Is Stuart still in the squad? With Donaldson at 10 it may help

 

[emuarse]

Everybody knows that the maul defence s*cks so the Georgian are gonna target that. I know it, you know it, everyone knows it.

So pick the best defender of maul in the squad and train your f*cking maul defence

Isn't one of Liam Wright's strengths in the area of maul defence? And JS has suggested he's back in the team for Georgia.

Apparently not in the starting side...

I don't think he's particularly noted for it, especially compared to some of the locks, eg Swain, Skelton.

Maybe he organisers the lineout structure a bit better than those on the field last week? It could scarcely be worse

 

[wamberal99]

no reason to be

Based on what?

So need to worry eh? Huge strong forwards??

 

[rugbyAU]

AAA to captain

Wright still out
