    Highlanders by 12 or more.

    They clearly want Seu at 8. Looks to me like he and Messam should be around the other way.

    Given who is available, that backline looks pretty good to me, but I'd prefer to see TTT starting. With Ngatai coming off the bench, I really, really hope that Alaimalo plays the house down at FB, so that our numbnuts coach will put him back at 12 for the 2 games he manages to maintain fitness.

    I'm a terrible tipster but that Clan forward pack is a veritable who's that of super rugby. Can't see them besting the Chief's 8.

    (Sorry Chiefs ... I've doomed you ... )

    @booboo huh? 3 ABs, two very good Maori players, a very good super player in Tokolahi and a NZ age group rep.

      Not to mention the Chiefs pack consists of Tyler Adron, Aidon Ross, Angus Ta'avao and Seu out of place. Granted BBBR and Cane can almost carry this pack alone but they're up against a decent pack - especially the loosies.

        @nepia I forgot to mention DLB isn't exactly a no name.

            Highlanders new tactic is to blind the opposition with their bright jerseys!

              I'm too busy watching the stockcars from Meeanee (found a free live stream!) to keep a close eye on the game, who is the replacement first five?

                Alaimalo looks pretty comfortable under the high ball. It’s mad how many good outside backs are about suddenly.

                        Between BBBR and Cane, we could sneak past these guys.

                          If Dmac were that consistent with his passing all the time, he’d be incredibly dangerous

                            Ta’avua is giving DLB plenty of trouble.

                              He did a few nice cut outs last week too.

                                Try Naholo, but full credit to Thompson. Poor defence from Wainui, but what's new?

                                F Smith converts. Highlanders lead 7 to 6.

                                    That’s a mismatch, so hopefully it only gets taken advantage of once.

                                      Shit passes from Dmac and awful ball handling from other Chiefs backs. They could have been well in front.

                                        Although, maybe I should give some credit to the Landers' defence.
