A bit surprised to see TNW named. His injury looked quite bad last week.
Last man standing with McNicol and Ngatai out? Or is that overrated Johnny guy available?

TNW obviously has good healing powers. Nonu Jr has been dropped, and Leitch misses out 2 weeks in a row.
@Hooroo I'm sure they are wanting to give Polwart a run so Hika is being rested. The interest will be next Thu to see Elliot makes the Maori squad. If he doesn't he will start for the Chiefs against the Lions, assuming Harris is in the AB squad.

@Bovidae The only thing stopping Harris from being one of the three hookers in the All Black squad is another injury.
I can't see the Tahs winning this.

@Bovidae Are we surprised Leitch has been dropped? I don't think he's been playing to his usual standard this season and is fucking off anyway, so eh. He's been a great player for the Chiefs over the last few years but Brown and Messam deserve to be there more.
Stoked to see Beaver reach the milestone. Now here's hoping the Chiefs actually play at the level they're capable of, not the level of their opposition, and don't fuck things up.

@NTA you say that every week
Why is that team so shit? Seriously, "on paper" there are enough good players for them to win a lot of games. Gibson aye?
If we can't get around Beaver and get up for this one then everyone may as well go home

No I don't.
Because we didn't play the Chiefs last week.

How close would Beaver be to getting 100 for Waikato as well, and will he even play for them this year?

He would be closer to 100 for CM if he had stayed there and not run down to hillbilly land.

@KiwiMurph interesting that he put the chiefs recent scrum ascendency down to Harris though.

On balance this season, I reckon McKenzie > Jordie Barrett.
