    I'm happy to see two packs at it like that. The pain in their legs. Means when the ball comes out for a phase or two there's more room.

      Should a team lose two props to injury and one more to a yellow or red card, they will then be forced to play with 13 players.

      This seems like overkill ...

      This new law would make Dave Rennie bloody angry if he was still a Super coach.

        @no-quarter maybe thats why he left?

        Although TBF, wasnt it the accusations of manipulating the uncontested scrums rule that made him bloody angry, not the uncontested scrums?

            Its a time zone thing. You live in an area where the timezone varies from hours to years behind the civilised world and sometimes that makes it difficult to keep up.

                  Aren't Aus teams starting this weekend? The directive from Cameron Clyne, is to target one NZ scalp this season.

                      Aren't Aus teams starting this weekend? The directive from Cameron Clyne, is to target one NZ scalp this season.

                        1/25 would be miles better than last season's clean sweep, so I can only assume it's a combined KPI, will need to clarify over Twitter.

                                looking at that Chiefs roster, not only could i not pick the vast majority of them out of a line-up, i don't even know roughly what positions they play.

                                Any chance someone could pick out a best 23 for me?

                                    @kiwimurph cheers. it appears we are fucked. Messam is still in our best loosie mix, in his 2nd position (love you Liam, you my boy, but you should be in that veteran mentor role now). TNW is a starter? at FB? Dmac is out 10? shiiiiit

                                    Good tight 5 though, if Harris learns to hit a lineout.

                                      @mariner4life actually I think TNW is out with an injury he picked up at the 10s so scratch that.

                                      I'd expect Luke Jacobson (6/8) to work his way into the starting loose forward mix sooner rather than later - he is from NZ U20s and very promising but he'll probably be eased in like most youngsters.

                                        @mariner4life Despite Liam's ageing, it's a more than handy pack. Best lock and loose forward in the world with able assistants.

                                        The problem is DMac needs to learn how to be a five-eighth. His Super Rugby fullback style of play will not transfer well.

                                          @kiwimurph That's a decent looking team which will be decimated by injuries in a couple of weeks and will look like:

                                          1. Reserve prop from Naki, 2. Harris, 3. Prop from Naki club rugby, 4. Retallick, 5. one of the flankers moved to lock, 6. Canadian flanker, 7. Cane, 8. Jacobson, 9. TTT, 10. Marty Mac, 11. A wing from the Naki, 12. ALB, 13. Sean Wainui, 14. Aumua (not the new AB hooker), 15. Falcon.
