Messy is down in Christchurch for a golf trip so plans to catch the Crusaders - Cats game. I am still not sure if I can make it to the tim on Friday as I have a lot on myself. Either way, I hope you enjoy it. I am picking the Canes, but only just in a tough game. Should be a goodie. Did you noticce Carter is on the bench ? (along with Jack)...that is going to throw a few spanners in the works !!!

I have been trying to work out which of the Crusaders will get a full game... not many I suspect. I have a strong feeling Mapusua may make some strong scoring runs tomorrow. He is my dark horse for a few extra points in FR and TR.

Anyway EW...enjoy it and GO THE CANES !!!
