Stuff's, Richard Knowler reckons Crusaders' head coach Todd Blackadder will avoid the pub prior to the Super Rugby final.
"Insiders say Crusaders coach Todd Blackadder won't be flogging any ideas from Ricky Stuart's pre-match routines ahead of Saturday's Super Rugby final against the Queensland Reds.
"That's probably a good thing if he doesn't want to wake up with his mouth feeling like a busy barber's floor on match day.
"If Stuart looked a bit jaded in the NSW Blues coaching box last night, he maybe could have blamed someone for tipping alcohol into his wine goblet on the eve of Origin III.
"The Blues coach was sighted by several New Zealand reporters in the same venue burning off his pre-match jitters with friends at an inner-city hotel bar."
