Chiefs vs Highlanders

When did we sign Manu Vatuvai?

Highlanders are now slight favourites at the TAB. Leger at 10!
Bit weird when you look at the opposing 10 then look at his replacement.

Hmmmmmm I guess we should get used to seeing these replacement players suit up, as it is a WC year..........

@Tim The script says that he will be brilliant , then we will talk about another great player that the Blues let get away! or maybe that is Manu.

Leger belongs at the Chiefs, if anywhere (and I mean if anywhere). He was only an injury call up to the Blues.
I really hope the kid takes this opportunity to focus his game and show what he's got because he looked out of place in Super last year and came across as a bit lazy during the NPC. Certainly didn't look Super Rugby quality which usually stands out.Anyway, that's what we've got given the injuries and if he has a mare at least Beaver is on hand.

@Crucial I think he had a tough ask last season. To my knowledge he has always been a 12/10 at junior levels yet Umaga in his wisdom asked him to play 13 outside the best winger in the world at 12! I too hope he steps up and is at least steady until the regulars return. He does seem to have a capable kicking game. Will he also have to kick goals? another tough ask for a rookie.

@Crucial and turn the Gatorade into wine!

It must be a great money saver for the team BBQs when you only have to buy a couple of loaves and fishes.

@Crucial When they crucify him they will need to go with the 4xl cross to cater for that wing span, and he will still rise again in time to hit the next ruck. We could go on all night.

Moli hasn't found his mark at loose head. He struggled vs Tupou in the warm up game against the Red. His confrontation with Lomax is an interesting one. I don't know much about Johnstone but this will be a hard introduction to Super Rugby for him against Angus TM. Retallick vs Parkinson is another great feature. This will be a big test for the young Ta$man lock.

with Debreczeni also injured, Cooper was saying all things going well, Donald would be nowhere near the 23 this week given he only joined them this week...but he said the young guys are all responding well to his voice at training....

That's like when the Kiwis select Hiku or Harris at stand off.
