High Quality matchup for the Anzac Weekend clash with 2 Top 5 sides doing battle. Aardvarks not firing on all cylinders will need to do so against the Crushers to get the win - and a good start would be our captain and fullback finding some form. With players returning from injury next week he may find himself cutting the oranges.

Aardvarks for the weekend are -;

Greg Inglis
Curtis Rona
Blake Ferguson
Jordan Rankin
Jordan Rapana
Aidan Sezer
Johnathan Thurston
Paul Gallen
Agnatius Passi
Tepai Moeroa
Tom Burgess
Nathan Peats
Matt Scott
Cameron Munster
David Fusitua
Leeson Ah Mau
Ava Seumanufagai
Johnathan Thurston

Showers vs Martians

Limited selection opportunities sees only 1 back (Grub Reynolds) and 1 forward (also pretty grubby Carter) fit and available but not selected (even with JWH hopefully pulling on the rainbow coloured jersey for the first time since August 2015). Sources from inside the club are quietly seething that their Tigers kicker tactic has blown up in their face (it was based on the next 4 opponents at the time for the available kickers, but obviously didn't take into account someone else kicking altogether)

Up against one of the form teams where we expect no sympathy, let's see if the backs feel like scoring this week for a change
