Chiefs v Crusaders

[ARHS]

Presumably Slater played himself into a starting berth for his stereotypical cameo, and Tupaea gets dropped for his...

[ACT Crusader]

Is the whole “DMac is our 10” that was coming from Chiefs camp a bit of a misnomer

[kiwiinmelb]

@ACT-Crusader maybe they think its their best set up until Stevenson returns

[taniwharugby]

I think it will help with Jacombs development too, he needs time in the saddle.

Dmac still runs as 1st receiver in some plays anyway

[Bovidae]

Circumstances. McMillan has said that Jacomb won't be used at fullback, and with ENS out, and Trask potentially also injured there weren't many other options.

When ENS went off late in the Blues game, Narawa ended up at fullback.

WTF? Every young up and coming first five needs to spend their game time randomly jumping between 10 and 15, it is the way

[ACT Crusader]

@Machpants I prefer centre and fullback change ups….

@ACT-Crusader only for meaningless tournaments like RWCs

Slater?!
WTAF.

[Mr Fish]

The reserve hooker for the Chiefs always struggles, don't know why. Guess they've decided that Slater needs to be starting in order to get his lineout throwing right.

I quite like Jacomb’s game.

The thing with DMac, he is clearly the best 1st 5 and the best fullback in the Chiefs squad.

Good start by the Saders, 20 seconds in and no cards

Can’t card, can’t kick a restart

[taniwharugby]

@ACT-Crusader or clear

[Machpants]

Which sader rushed out of line, that was a bad read

[Machpants]

Nice defence havili

[Bones]

Lord looks absolutely huge now.

[Mattasaurus]

nicely taken try
