It has been reported that Richie McCaw will not face the Stormers this weekend after suffering from headaches in the week building up to the game, and that the Crusaders management do not want to risk playing him.
This will open the door for Matt Todd to retain his starting spot after being dropped to the bench to make way for McCaw to play flank as Kieran Read returned to the eighthman position.

@robdylan (Comment 2) : Less cheating means equal opportunities 😈
@robdylan (Comment 2) :
Ive already made my SB picks, but I am still pretty confident that the Crusaders can win..
I think you may just be right Richard. The Saders are a very good team even without McCaw and Carter.
There’s still all the other super human Crusaders players to contend with.
And the kiwi ref. 😈
Funnily enough I think it’s good for Crusaders. The player coming back from injury is always a bit rusty.
Besides – what a silly excuse – headaches 😈
How many times has he now been concussed? 😐
Not something to mess around with.
@McLovin (Comment 8) : are these headaches due to concussion ?
