So Dan is put in at 12 for the Crusaders against the Blues which means against Nonu. Should be an interesting clash.

Opinions?

So they re-programmed his mainframe...so what? No big deal. Any bedroom-teen nerd genius with a few connector and adaptor cords plus basic computer programming skills could do it.

Carter is a Model X1-B86 - most advanced model on the market - easily modified.

Blackadder wanted to give Slade a chance to redeem himself but needed Carter to start. I wouldn't be surprised to see Taylor come on early in the second half to replace Slade at 2nd five.

Has Nonu been warned that he can't tackle Carter during the game?

What were Slade's concussion evaluation results. The pitch-side testing eventually got him off the pitch last weekend.

I thought Slade had been having a good season? When I've seen the Crusaders play he's been at the heart of their attacking impetus. Makes sense to ease Carter in alongside him as he steps back up to full speed over the next couple of weeks.

Biggest match for the Blues for some years I believe. Piautau is back so the strikepower just keeps getting better. I think starting DC in this match is a risk regardless of the Nonu factor and this is one of those Tuilagi 'gotta have em both on the field' type selections with Slade.

DC knows nonu's game better than most so knows whats needed there but the Saders backline is struggling. The Blues just need to get over the Christchurch hold over them, but if the Saders click, the Blues wont handle it. Same the other way around.
