Chiefs v Blues

@Tim said in Chiefs v Blues:
We should roll that forward pack, even if they are fired up and at home.
yeah, but Blues, playing away, in a derby, with referee interpretations...
I still have horrible memories of crushing their scrum (last year??), earning 4 scrum penalties in a row, but the ref declining to card or do anything else. Still boggles my brain a bit.
Also, we weren't good enough to actually DO anything with all the ball we got!

I look at that team and it does give me some confidence
The backs, yep, just the forwards look like a recipe for more of their Dunedin custardness...

Agreed, I guess it highlights a lack of depth at 8. Be interesting to see how Vaa'i backs up.
Wainui has been a much better performer than I'd ever thought he would be, still can't believe he's starting over Alaimalo thought.

Alaimalo
He should move North.
The Blues are stacked with outside back talent, even English superstar and Storm superstar's can't get a run.

@Tim IIRC he was offered a WTG contract with the Blues when the Chiefs offered a Full contract...

@Nepia We need fullbacks.
I guess you shouldn't have let the best communicator in the business get snapped up by the Highlanders then.

Yes. I would prefer someone that can play, not talk though. If you want 5,000 words a day get a teenage girl.

Ben Tameifuna helping out at Blues training
If he isn't injured he would be good as Scrum opposition.

Tameifuna was just watching this time
"He'd look good in a Blues jersey wouldn't he," Blues hooker James Parsons said with a chuckle. "He is good mates with Tom. We're keen to get him down here and scrum against one of the world's best props. Hopefully we'll have him here at some stage but he didn't want to put the boots on today." -

Masks, sheds, basements, whatever - they do work. I know.
Unlike our previous fullback, who just talked apparently, and never ran straight, made a line break, or really did anything related to rugby. I'm a little harsh but...
