Carter back for crucial match

Carter back for crucial match

4 Jul 2012

Flyhalf Dan Carter has been pushed into the Crusaders’ starting side for the must-win fixture against the Chiefs.

Carter missed the third Test against Ireland and was forced to miss the Crusaders’ match against the Hurricanes. He was expected to sit out of the Kiwi derby in Hamilton, but it’s believed that he has recovered sufficiently from his hamstring injury.

No 8 Kieran Read and fullback Israel Dagg are also back from injury. Read’s return sees Richie McCaw moving back to openside flank and Matt Todd shifting to the bench. Dagg replaces Sean Maitland at fullback.

Up front, Wyatt Crockett makes way for Owen Franks.

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

    It goes against everything I believe in to support the Crusaders.

    I am sorry, I simply cannot do this – even if it robs the Stormers of a first place overall.

    @Transformation(Transformation)-58: Hehe.

    No. I believe in honest, truthful virtues. And humbleness.

    Not something the Crusaders are known for.

    I’m raising this for the first time but I want to know why so many sheeple have been brainwashed into disliking the ‘saders. They can answer for themselves.
    They won’t say that its the 7 titles; the played 13 won 13 season in 2002; five consecutive appearances in the final (2002 to 2006).
    F_uck you losers. Its pensioner’s day at shoprite. Go chat up a hag & see if she’ll sleep with you

    @willievz(willievz)-59:

    so you think the average white South African is humble when it comes to rugby?

    @59 willievz
    In your misguided state of mind & polluted worldview, you’ve unwittingly tried to invent a new word.
    “Humbleness”. You should be imprisoned
    Try “humility” next time

    Neither do we say stupidness.
    Its stupidity. Can you relate?

    This game has all the ingredients to be a classic
    with great individual battles right across the park
    Dan Carter v Aaron Cruden wow !!!
    Dan is king but Cruden is pushing real hard
    mouth watering stuff

    @65 & also thankfully there is actually something at stake in the match (especially for the ‘saders)

    @spartan(spartan)-65:
    Heres hoping it is a close one,say six point margin with a heap of tries, about four each should suffice.

    @Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-67:
