Interesting Ah Kuoi has a Chinese flag. Assume his name traces back to there.
A significant chunk of Samoans have Chinese ancestry.
Didn't know that. Always wondered about names like Ah Wong and Ah Kuoi. Assume there's the answer.

Yep Boo, we had a few Samoan boys called Chongnee in my club in Aus, have to admit it confused me a little for a while.

Dmac apparently out with a shoulder injury. Take this with a grain of salt but I'm hearing a dislocated AC joint.

Fucking hell, every time he's got a chance to cement his position, he either gets injured or Beaudened. Suuuicks

I think he's annoyed that the Chiefs decided he was Pakeha only so is sitting out the game in protest.

I am stunned by the changes on the bench. The Taranaki props had a hell of a game when they came in against the Saders and I was expecting to watch them again this week against a strong Brumbies scrum.
The replacement props were certainly good (and have proven pretty useful in the past) but also true that the Crusaders reserve props were pretty green so can't read too much into the dominance.

George Bower is not that green ...

Fair. Green, on the way back from injury, not at their best etc.
But either way, the two Taranaki props were the preferred bench props last year anyway so they're well regarded.

There's no mention in any media I can see that he's not playing. Just that he took a knock at training.
Sounds like a ruse to have us remove him from our fantasy team.

@antipodean yep I got an inside tip that I said to take with a grain of salt so dunno, feel like we would have heard by now, guess we'll see come tomorrow.

There will be a captains run some time today. It will be hard to cover up an injured player.
If DMac is out, Koller would have to come on to the bench (need 1st 5 cover).

@KiwiMurph ok, but he's playing, apparently at a wedding today, said it himself.

@Bovidae Dmac definitely playing.
Now I'm convinced he's out
All we need now is @booboo to say he's watching the game just to see DMac and it'll be confirmed.
-
Anyone had word on DMac? Need to swap him out of my Fantasy side if he ain’t playing.

@Canes4life he was contacted yesterday by ZB, and said he was all good, and was attending a wedding, so I'd say he's playing.

Really like to see Chiefs just put the Brumbies to the sword today
