      @Steven-Harris It's odd that the Chiefs don't mention it in their own team release. If I hadn't seen the Canes team list, I would have asked the same question.

        The 1014 interview with Gatland (in what I assume is his Waihi bach) he says he is looking for a super rugby job next year.

            Some good news for Chiefs fans. Chiefs U20 beat Hurricanes U20: 42 - 21.

                @sparky be very surprised if Foster went back to chiefs, despite what people here think, I reckon he would command a hefty salary off shore.

                  Dan Carter is not going to Paris. The Chiefs should sign him as their First Five for the rest of the season. Shift DMac back to fullback.

                      I think it's too easy to blame DMac for some of the mistakes this season, it's hard for the backs to get going when the forwards are having a hard time around the ruck and scrum. It really comes down to the entire team being shit.

                        he's the whipping boy. Comes with being "mercurial"

                        He's not my favourite player, but he doesn't deserve anywhere near the level of shit he cops (at any level by the way).

                        This season is a collective failure, but the look of Saturday's failure has the hallmarks of some shit coaching.

                          Absolutely. Cooper has to go! No excuses. Three games of dross this season is enough. Tana in disguise!

                            This team is dross, I think it was badly selected (which may mean they could only get what was available). I don't think that Cooper is a 'bad' coach, but I don't think he's the right coach to mould this bunch. This is actually a perfect team for Rennie and how bad they are probably highlights how good a coach he was, because even when they weren't winning the entire comp under him they were still a dangerous team who made the finals.

                            In saying that maybe this team can come right. I can only live in (false) hope.

                              Problem is, he isn't a good coach. Heaps of "is not a good coach" types out there but certainly not for Super Rugby

                                if this is like the Chiefs of old, we'll come home with a wet sail once all hope of finals is over.

                                  and stuff up another NZ's teams hopes too. (Not that it bothers me)

                                    SO, after those two performances, we are rewarded with the Crusaders.

                                    The Crusaders who are welcoming back All Blacks

                                    Well, that's just great. That's just fucking great.

                                      I see a lot of people bagging various players/ coaches about chiefs but I think you just have to live with the fact that this is the squad you have. Cooper, DMAC etc ain't gonna change result. Selections, well who else could they select who would change their season?
                                      As a Highlanders supporter I am resigned to the fact that after this year we will struggle. BFA, A Smith, Naholo, Whitelock will change dynamic of team and we need to rebuild.
                                      Maybe we have been blessed as rugby fans with depth that is a 20 year cycle??? Just need to put in perspective. I think k maybe Winning 50% would be overachieving with Chiefs squad no matter what happened.

                                        SO, after those two performances, we are rewarded with the Crusaders.

                                        The Crusaders who are welcoming back All Blacks

                                        Well, that's just great. That's just fucking great.

                                        You'll be needing this then
