[QUOTE="Mr. Laxative, post: 113167"] On form the Crusaders should win this one by about 30 points, but this is no normal match either. It's the final home game for Gregan, Larkham and Paul. Before the match commences the Eastern Stand of Canberra Stadium will be renamed the Gregan/Larkham Stand, by Chief Minister John Stanhope... admittedly it doesn't have the same ring to it as the Mal Meninga Stand, but it's growing on me (a LOT!). At the completion of the match Gregan and Larkham and maybe JP will give their final reflections and be presented with something. So there is plenty of emotion involved that may well get us home. What's more, this is a home game and it is well known that the Brumbies always seem to play well against the Crusaders at the "Fortress". Actually, I think the Crusaders have only ever one three matches here - one of them being the 2000 final. Hopefully a big crowd gets out to fairwell our greats and the home ground "advantage" can push us over the line! GO THE BRUMBIES!!! By the way, Mortlock has returned, but Rathbone has been ruled out and may not take any further part in the Super 14 this season. Some people don't realise how problematic this injury is, but hopefully he'll be ready for the domestic tests and then the World Cup. Julian Huxley is also in doubt with a corked buttock - yes, that's right. So Adam Ashley-Cooper is on stand-by to fill the fullback position, otherwise he will fill the spare wing position. [/QUOTE]
