    Ethan Blackadder's addressed what's become an all-too-common line of questioning as he looks to string together regular game time at the Crusaders

    Ethan Blackadder's addressed what's become an all-too-common line of questioning as he looks to string together regular game time at the Crusaders

    30 January 2025
    The 14-test All Black was hindered by injury once again last year - forcing him to miss the start of Super Rugby and the AB's end of year tour.

    Blackadder's had long stints on the sideline since undergoing shoulder surgery in 2022...and says he's sick of not being able to play.



    Blackadder will captain the Crusaders tomorrow in their preseason hit out against the Blues in Kirwee.
