Quote: Wigan Bull "Correct Mish.
Although I would say it's advantage Crusaders already....'"
I think it's undeniable to say Crusaders have an advantage by not playing on Friday but it doesn't automatically mean it's a big enough advantage for them to win the game. Someone else said, correctly, on another thread that fatigue is 95% mental and I'm confident the coaching staff are addressing this as we post.
The bumps, bruises and strains are physical of course, and depending on just what we took out of the game on Friday (it was a physically hard encounter, to be fair) they may have some part to play, but rugby players always have some minor injury (or so!) from the first game onwards, so it won't be anything unusual. In any case, with any luck, in lieu of the match, Clogger will have flogged the Crusaders on the training paddock so it might not be [ithat [/imuch of an advantage anyway!
The hardest game though will be the third at Catalans next Saturday, but we're back onto a level field then.
