    I recognize 21/23 of the names....only the starting 9 and Kautai I haven't seen before.

    You didn't watch the NZ U20s last year? Kautai was the starting TH prop.

    The only players I hadn't heard of before in this 23 prior this season were Alaimalo, Nankivell and Taumateine.

    @Bovidae not closely enough to remember his name I guess 🤷 ...Alaimalo I know as he played for NOrthland, and he also played in an earlier game for the CHiefs this year, and got a YC....

      Alex Nankivell is the big Ta$man 2nd Five who did so well in the last Mitre 10 Cup.
      Kautai is a beast. At only 20, he has a bright future in front of him.

        Cruden is the backup halfback for this game.

        Cane at no.8 is an interesting move. He's finished games there regularly in the past so it's not a new position but they could have played Sanders there too.

          Funny how our AB number one and two opensides have been dabbling at eight which is where their captain plays.

                  Scrum penalties are a joke, 90% of the time I think the refs have less idea than the casual spectator as to what is going on in there.

                  Sun wolves have had a good period on attack now, nothing to show yet.

                          Chiefs look like they're still feeling the effects of their sleeping pills from their flight home from Perth.

                            @Gunner pretty sure they are one of the most, if not the most penalised team this year. But your point on scrum interpretation is valid far to often...especially for any team playing in aussie

                                  One second you think Cruden's just passed the ball to nobody, the next DMac's catching it. Classy try.

                                    Didn't help that the Sunwolves were entering the ruck from the side and the ref was too busy watching clouds.

                                      Is it wrong that I'm thinking about letting the Mrs watch her taped episodes of Coro St?

                                      This rugby is so shit, I'm seriously considering it.

                                          DMac is dangerous but that was some woeful defence.
