McCaw skippers Saders

Richie McCaw will lead the Crusaders and start his first game of the season this Saturday.

After making his return from injury and featuring on the bench in the last two games, McCaw is finally ready to start. He replaces Matt Todd at openside flank and relieves Kieran Read of the captaincy.

Read has been dropped to the bench as coach Todd Blackadder looks to give the All Blacks No 8 a bit of a break. He will be replaced by Luke Whitelock.

Prop Wyatt Crockett and scrumhalf Willie Heinz have also been selected to start against the Rebels, as has fullback Tom Marshall.

Crusaders – 15 Tom Marshall, 14 Sean Maitland, 13 Robbie Fruean, 12 Dan Carter, 11 Zac Guildford, 10 Tom Taylor, 9 Willi Heinz, 8 Luke Whitelock, 7 Richie McCaw (c), 6 George Whitelock, 5 Sam Whitelock, 4 Luke Romano, 3 Owen Franks, 2 Corey Flynn, 1 Wyatt Crockett.
Subs: 16 Ben Funnell, 17 Ben Franks, 18 Tom Donnelly, 19 Kieran Read, 20 Andy Ellis, 21 Ryan Crotty, 22 Israel Dagg.

Tough ask I know, but like you said earlier NZ has produced so many great 7′s over the years, but I don’t see any worthy challengers to Richie as of yet.

    @HongKongSlong(HongKongSlong)-28: I think hes contracted for another couple of years at least (not sure exactly how long), he’ll be 32 this year, so would think he only has one or two more seasons left, barring being rested for any length of period during the season..

    I like the looks of Sam Cane, and also think Matt Todd at 24 years of age is a decent prospect in Ritchies absence.. will they be as good as Ritchie? not sure, but Todd has proven he can get the job done to an appropriate level imo..

    I just hope Ritchie is wiiling to hand over his cloak of invisibility when hes ready :)

  • 39.Te Rangatira: Reply to this comment

    @poppa69(poppa69)-21:
    Yes…. light in the lock dept…… Ali will be struggling to make the side….. Sam Whitelock just average at the moment….. Hoeata really a glorified blind side….Eaton playing well but question marks about his ability at that level…..Donnelly has proven himself but that was a couple of years back….Borric ..sporadic appearances because of injury…… that leaves the Waikato locks, Clark and Rettallick who could be bolters…. they will certainly be in the 35 training squad…….Maybe a Brad Thorn somewhere in the outbacks… Hansen got a lot to work out who will lock Abs

  • 40.poppa69: Reply to this comment

    @Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-39: yep, tend to agree with your analysis… will be very disappointed if Williams makes the squad, has been a virtual passenger for the Blues… Retallick definitely an AB in waiting, and Clark has been a quiet assassin imo.. would not mind if both make it into the squad, and Whitelock still; deserves a starting spot, another who has played well whenever in black…

    Eaton never been the same since his knee injury, Donnelly I felt was hard done by after stepping up a few years back then wasnt really given another shot at the ABs, thought his performances in black deserved it to be honest.. Boric was just starting to turn in decent performances when he got injured…

    Hoeata seemed to have lost some weight when injured, if he can regain that I do like the mongrel in him..

  • 41.Te Rangatira: Reply to this comment

    @viewer(viewer)-37:
    Richie’s game has gone beyond the realms of mere fetcher… he is the main link man in the Abs……first to hit the ball up from restarts…..best cover tackler in Abs…and the best Captain in World Rugby……and that was on one foot. The absence of Kaino however will make a big difference on how Ab loose trio and Richie play this year….. can not see any immediate replacement for Kaino

  • 42.Te Rangatira: Reply to this comment

    @poppa69(poppa69)-40:
    Yes…..I would go with Whitelock and Donnelly with Retallick on bench

  • 43.Transformation: Reply to this comment

    @Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-19: hehehe “good enough to play NFL” well he’s started the NF-type BLOCKING already, Liam Gill couldn’t get to DC cos richie “ran a good supporting line” :D

    i even said on the Reds game thread, the guy must be clever, his instinct to win at all cost is beyond normal!

  • 44.poppa69: Reply to this comment

    @Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-41: yep, kaino is a huge loss, more so when he goes to Japan next year..

    candidates are Vito/ Thompson and maybe Messam, of the three I would most like Vito probably, his game seems to be on the rise this year… Thompson not good enough at the elite level, and Messam hasnt really had a good performance in black, has played better for the Maori tbh..

    as an outside shot, perhaps Manu in at 8 and Read to 6 (his original position? )

    @Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-42: Donnelly definitely the grafting type of lock, but I think against Ireland at least they should throw Retallick in at the deep end…

  • 45.poppa69: Reply to this comment

    @Transformation(Transformation)-43: was he behind the ball carrier? didnt get to see the game, but we all know Jonker would have called the “obstruction” :D

    UNDER-PRESSURE Lions coach John Mitchell has lashed out at the South African Rugby Union’s handling of the Southern Kings’ entry into Super Rugby next year.

    Saru and unions to meet to try to resolve issues

    Mitchell issues warning to Chiefs
    Plum dangles a Bok carrot

    The Kings were guaranteed a place in next year’s tournament after a unanimous vote by Saru’s general council to include them was taken in January.

    The Golden Lions Rugby Union was one of the 14 unions that voted for the Kings.

    But at the same meeting no solution on a mechanism for the relegation of a team to make way for the Kings was reached.

    And more than halfway through this year’s tournament, it is still unclear who would drop out, and how it would happen.

    The obvious solution would be to relegate the bottom team in the South African conference.

    Each country, including Australia and New Zealand, is only allowed five teams in the tournament.

    The Lions are last in the South African standings with 14 points after eight losses in nine matches.

    “Nothing has been defined in terms of the future,” Mitchell said.

    “But the Lions have been around for 120 years and it is up to Saru to stop blackmailing people and hanging a noose out there and to rather allow them to get on with things.”

    He said South African rugby had created a “ridiculous situation for itself”.

    Mitchell believes a good solution to fitting six franchises into five would be for the Lions and Cheetahs to merge again. Between 1998 and 2006 the Lions and the Cheetahs played as the Cats, but when the tournament expanded to 14 teams the Cheetahs and the Lions became separate entities.

    “If you want to be the best team a merger with the Cheetahs is the way to go,” Mitchell said.

    He said the status quo could be maintained, with the Lions developing very good young players.

    “But if you want to create a team that is going to be better and you want to become a serious challenger, a merger is a decent decision.

    “It depends whether you want to continue to accept mediocrity and just hang in there and be part of the competition, or if you want to win.

    “If the Lions were at full strength and playing with the same team that won the Currie Cup last year, we would have been more competitive in this year’s competition, but we still don’t have the depth to maintain and sustain performances to win the title – and neither do the Cheetahs.

    “If you amalgamated the best players from both franchises you would have a serious group, and with strong leadership and a good team culture, they could achieve anything.”

    The Cats were an unsuccessful merger, with players based in Bloemfontein unhappy when they were forced to spend months in Johannesburg.

    It’s an option that poses many operational and logistical challenges.

    @poppa69(poppa69)-44:

    Nasi Manu is the answer-plays more like a blindside anyway with Thompson the link player at Highlanders. He has harder edge than Vito(Spies doppelganger),Thompson etc 6.Manu 7.McCaw 8.Read. But yeah Kaino loss is HUGE,bes player in the world last year in my opinon,best blindside for last -3 years(Juan Smith injuries)

    Messam will never cut the mustard.Sorry but wont happen,almost 30 now-supremely talented but just not good enough Test time.

    AB’s in trouble at 4,Hoeatta is best bet, Retallick is athletic type ball carrier,Whitelock the same. Most hardworking lock in NZ is Craig Clarke,cant see him being an AB though. Luke Romano was making good strides but way too early for him.Thorn keft gaping hole

    Yes, cane. You have five squadrons but no fighters.
