Dang.Injured first five-eighth Fergus Burke, 24, has been linked with English club Saracens, with Crusaders coach Rob Penney saying a statement is imminent...
Burke, who was expected to be the Crusaders' starting No 10 until he injured his Achilles tendon last year, appears set to join Saracens because England five-eighth Owen Farrell will play his club rugby in France next season.

Saders vs Chiefs kicking off in Christchurch shortly.
Both sides are fielding inexperienced halfback pairings - the match-up between Hotham/Hohepa and Roe/Jacomb will be interesting.

That's an interesting battle - I have a feeling that the two packs will be relatively even, perhaps in the Sadists favour in the loosies, and that should give them reasonable bases to work from

Hope Josh Jacomb has a good Supe debut. He was terrific for the Naki in the last NPC.

Fihaki scores the opening try after a delightful grubber kick by Hotham.

The ball is squirting out of the rucks due to Crusaders arms - bloody hell ref.
Try Sadists after another turnover

Still trying too often for the last miracle pass but are definitely bringing Aumua into the game far more than in earlier games.

The contrast to last week's game and that frustrating adherence to a short lineout that wasn't working is really surprising. Didn't expect to see this and it's encouraging... maybe a bit of zest to the Saders play going forwards.
Hohepa is looking good

I was just going to comment that we haven't got any turnovers at the tackle/ruck and Christie shouts "Hold my beer!!!"

Good game. Well done, Saders.
Hotham's rapid down the blindside. Bell's try was a beauty. Great to see McNicholl having a gallop again.

Hannah is a revelation, excellent two weeks in a row.
I like how Hohepa has settled into his role after a dusty start. Hotham is the business, that's great to see. I guess the really good thing to see is some younger, no name players stepping up and doing well.

That was some gritty stuff by the Crusaders. Determined rugby at its best. A joy to watch.
