Show Preview
Round 9 of Super Rugby Pacific continues with the Crusaders taking on the Blues. Join The Roar for live scores from 5:05pm AEST.
There’s sure to be a bit of feeling in this one after comments from Jeff Wilson this week which said the Blues are better than the Crusaders.
“This was difficult, but I’m going to do it. Clearly it’s the Blues,” Wilson told The Breakdown.
Their squad is strong. They’ve got depth, their young guys are stepping up, they’ve got everything they need to be a champion.”
The depth he was alluding to was the return of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck who returns from a shoulder injury and tighthead prop Nepo Laulala is back from suspension.
The Crusaders are still without Sam Whitelock with rookie Dominic Gardiner to provide cover on the bench.
This should be a cracking contest.
