Crusaders without Marshall and Mehrtens, strange! Yes big names missing Xavier Rush, Carlos Spencer & Carl Hoeft.

Troy 'stamper' Flavell is back for the Blues!!

Sam Tuitupou and Mils Muliaina lining up for the Chiefs.

Ross Filipo, Brad Mika and Tony Koonwaiyou at the Crusaders interesting!

Old man Blowers, Vilimoni Delasau and Ben Blair - jeeze these provincial guys are beginning to move around!

I think the Chiefs and Highlanders are looking similar to last year - The others though have had a bit of shake up with guys heading overseas or retiring!

Bring it on - let see those Crusaders and Chiefs go down in flames at Subiaco Oval! :bounce:
