Way to pick up on the not-so subtleties in my post...

Misinterpretation perhaps?



Absolutely not. I'm a Halfback.
If you are a halfback Dan should be playing outside of you...not inside.....


...slip of the tongue....or not... ;) [/b]
What are you talking about? This isn't about rugby! :mellow:

[edit] Oh yeah... There may be a slip of the toungue here and there. Maybe, maybe not.

Thorne back at blindside for Crusaders
25 May 2006 

Reuben Thorne returns to his favoured blindside flanker's job and Ross Filipo has been inserted at lock as expected in the Crusaders' run-on side for Saturday night's Super 14 final against the Hurricanes.


With first-choice halfback Andrew Ellis out with a medial ligament (knee) injury, Kevin Senio will start in the No. 9 jersey, with first five-eighth Dan Carter the back-up halfback.

Thorne's return to No. 6 after two games at lock and Filipo's inclusion suggests that coach Robbie Dean has opted for a bit more grunt in his pack than the mobility he wanted against the Bulls in last week's semifinal.

Otherwise, the Crusaders' run-on side is similar to the semifinal line-up, with the steady Caleb Ralph on the bench, Scott Hamilton and Rico Gear on the wings and Casey Laulala at centre.

Team: Leon MacDonald, Rico Gear, Casey Laulala, Aaron Mauger, Scott Hamilton, Daniel Carter, Kevin Senio, Mose Tuiali'i, Richie McCaw (captain), Reuben Thorne, Ross Filipo, Chris Jack, Greg Somerville, Corey Flynn, Wyatt Crockett
Reserves: Caleb Ralph, Cameron McIntyre, Stephen Brett, Tanerau Latimer, Johnny Leo'o, Campbell Johnstone, Tone Kopelani

Nonu ready to roar in final
25 May 2006 
By JIM KAYES

Ma'a Nonu has declared himself fit to start for the Hurricanes against the Crusaders in Saturday night's Super 14 final in Christchurch.


The midfielder took a full part in training yesterday and, though his troublesome right thigh was again heavily strapped, he was confident he would be okay.

"It's not too bad today. Yesterday it was pretty sore, but today's going all right."

If he is okay, Nonu is likely to be part of an unchanged team that he believes has made a key attitude shift from last year, when the Hurricanes were thumped 47-7 by the Crusaders in the semifinal.

"This year is different from last year. We wanted to be in the top four last year, this year we want to go all the way."

Saying it is one thing, but as Nonu â€" who has never won at Jade Stadium with Wellington or the Hurricanes â€" knows, doing it is a tougher job.

The Crusaders have won five of the seven Super 12 finals they have played in, losing only to the Blues in 2003 and the Brumbies a year later. They are formidable at home, with an unbeaten record at Jade Stadium going back to the second round of the 2004 Super 12.

Nonu admitted Jade Stadium was an intimidating place, but the final was an ideal chance to "give it another crack".

He was in rampaging form in the consecutive wins against the Waratahs and his linebreaks, and combination with Tana Umaga, are a key part of the Hurricanes' gameplan.

He is hopeful that he and Umaga can provide the winning of the match. "Possibly, if we get enough ball, if they don't pinch it all the time and that No. 7 (Richie McCaw) doesn't get in there.

"Hopefully, we won't have any scraps like last time. We want a clean game."

Nonu and Umaga will mark fellow All Blacks Aaron Mauger and Casey Laulala in what shapes as a test of the Crusaders' tackling, as neither player is a robust defender.

Nonu, perhaps diplomatically, disputed that. "They are good defenders. Aaron's pretty strong and Casey has improved, so it will be a tough game."

Meanwhile, The Press believes Daniel Carter will be the Crusaders' halfback cover on Saturday.

Kevin Senio will start in place of the injured Andrew Ellis, and coach Robbie Deans had to choose between the inexperienced Matt France or Carter as cover.

France has no first-class experience but is a specialist halfback and will be familiar with the team's calls, defensive systems and plays. However, Carter has the talent, covering while Senio was in the blood bin last week.

He also played briefly at halfback for the All Blacks during the 2003 World Cup, deputising for six minutes after Justin Marshall had been substituted.

Should Carter be forced into halfback, reserve Cameron McIntyre would play at pivot or Leon MacDonald could move into the front line from fullback.

Both sides are named today.

Hurricanes (likely): Isaia Toeava, Lome Fa'atau, Ma'a Nonu, Tana Umaga, Shannon Paku, David Holwell, Piri Weepu, Rodney So'oialo, Chris Masoe, Jerry Collins, Jason Eaton, Paul ***o, Neemia Tialata, Andrew Hore, John Schwalger. Reserves: Luke Mahoney, Joe McDonnell, Luke Andrews, Thomas Waldrom, Brendan Haami, Jimmy Gopperth, Tamati Ellison.

head to head i would go for canterbury

but if i take off my red and black eye patch

i am going to go for canterbury

wait.. i cant take off my eye patch

CANTERBURY
 
crusaders will win this for me anyway. they have been the stand out team all year and will be too classy again. hurricanes hopefully will make it interesting and close but I think they will choke and the cantabs will eventually win.
 
What a great game this should be.

Crusaders have learnt this year not to get complacent... They WILL bring their A game.

Hurricanes have been steadily improving, and are pretty good at winning the tight games.
They really need to break the Crusaders down throughout the match, as they just come on very strong at the end. The Canes really need to be in the lead by the 60minute mark to keep their momentum going for the last 20 minutes. If they are down, then you can expect the Crusaders to put them away.

The Crusaders are expected to win, but if the Canes bring their best then we should be in for a cracker. They have the right headspace for it, they just need to excecute.

I read the odds on this game in the paper, can't remember what they were, but I may very well put 20 bucks on the Canes.

GO THE CANES!!!
 
So which Umaga will show up for the game?
