Chiefs v Moana Pasifika
-
Anyone who can’t see that DMac is the ABs 10 is ESN (Educationally Sub-normal)
Carter worth a punt on the wing for the ABs?
Got same energy as Graham and the French bloke whose name I can’t spell

That looked sore. Hope narawa is alright
HIA was all clear but his nose has torn away from his upper lip.

Yikes. Poor bugger, that sounds gnarly. Can put a line through him for next weekend then. Glad the HIA was all clear.

@sparky how is Carter under high box kicks and whats his defence like ? Thought he got exposed big time defensively against the Canes a few weeks back , personally i would like to see a bit more of him under duress
-
@Steven-Harris He's not as good in defence or under the high kick as he is going forwards. Those can be worked on and I'd argue he'll improve better in those areas inside the ABs environment than outside. What was Julian Savea like in those areas when he started with the ABs?
I'm willing to take the risk with Leroy Carter, especially as we aren't exactly overflowing with options on the Wings at the minute.
-
@sparky for me i dont see Carter in the All Black picture but i will conceed he maybe a chance given that Telea may not been selected because of his impending departure and with Tangitau out and possibly Narawa i guess anythings possible
-
Not much to take from that.
I was glad that the Chiefs had done their homework on making sure that Ardie couldn't really get in the game. I don't think it would have helped as Dmac was directing traffic really well, but in the first 20 odd minutes I was really impressed with the accuracy of their carry and clean.

@Nepia I was just saying the other day this Chiefs team reminds me of the 2009 blue Bulls team where they can punish the opposition in a big way, I would be surprised if they don't go all the way this year although Barrett, Blackadder and co often peak in June

Could be in for a heavy rotation next week and a potential week off for the big guns? Doesn’t make sense at all to have him on
McMillan has been good in rotating minutes for some key players (e.g., ST), and was able to sub the likes of Vaa'i and Sititi off early. There were still some backline casualties from this game, so we might be using some WTG players at least.

anyone see what was the issue with wrampling?
Based on what I saw it from the physio it was either a chest or shoulder problem.
