Highlanders v Chiefs

I thought the Highlanders would put Walden in at 12. That backline just has too many weak defenders in it.

I've come to the conclusion that Mauger can't stand the 12 to be a better 12 than him. So takes people and plays them out of position for a couple of games but swaps them out before they get any good.
Walden was excellent last year and has been the glue in that backline. Mauger is being a fucken moron.

The jersey will be worn to acknowledge the thousands of females who play and/or support rugby in the Chiefs region. Each jersey from the playing twenty-three will be signed and donated to twenty-three different schools within the Chiefs Region to help raise funds for sports equipment, travel or apparel for their female rugby teams.@KiwiMurph said in Highlanders v Chiefs:

What has the world come to that top tier athletes need a special jersey to acknowledge what we all know?

I haven't seen the jersey yet but I assume it features pictures of large plates of sausage rolls and saveloys, along with some aprons?
I'd be worried about copping abuse from women for such an old-fashioned view of "women in rugby", but luckily we don't have many on here...

I wanna say the Chiefs will trash the Landers but I can't see it being a blowout. Landers might take the scrums but I think the midfield will be a big part of the game and I can't see Tomkinson vs ALB going any other way other than ALB schooling him. Landers are at home infront of a huge crowd which is a big factor. Chiefs by 8.

@Duluth Wouldn't have thought he was up to this level at this stage of his career from what I've seen. He's barely played M10 Cup.

I will delay turning sky back on, by a day, just because of silly jerseys. Not interested in watching that.
The saffa superhero kits were my last straw with super rugby (and there were plenty of straws) , couldn't suspend the disbelief anymore that the competition was worth anything more prestigious than content filler.
