      Highlanders to win by 5!! :face_blowing_a_kiss: Do I hear laughing :angry_face:

      Welcome aboard.

      Long suffering Blues fans will take more than that to rise to your rancid bait 🙂 We've lifted this year, but Blues/Highlanders used to be the competitive derby games to watch as a Blues fan. We should beat them at home... but can't ever be too confident. I expected teh Chiefs to dust them up in Round 1, and we know how that turned out

        don't give us that

        Yesterday Blues posters were all about rotating out players to rest them up for championship deciders later in the year.

        You're up and about, and already buying bottles of silver polish.

        own it

          Currently we are clearly in the top two, but that can change pretty quick in a NZ conference. Our worst teams are strong teams in the SA and OZ conferences, for example.

          Even when we were "bad", if the QF spots were manipulated to get one form SA and OZ there we'd have made those.

          And if you are talking about Duluth's "rotation", that was a whopping TWO players. Hardly 2007 R & R levels there.

              I just read it again and people were talking about a bit of a reshuffle and giving guys time on field to cover for injuries. Not really seeing the backtracking or the original "rotating" as such.

              Certainly not for championship deciders - we are far to experienced for that nonsense.

                    It's the decade plus of failure showing through. You're a chiefs fan you should understand.

                            Nope 🙂 We finally have good coaches, Coventry has the forwards humming, and much fitter which is making a hude difference on defence. And Leon is making far better selections than the past two coaches.

                              … or put the mockers on their faux-championship winning season

                              All I know it won’t be down to bad coaching if the Blues players stuff up the un-losable season 😇

                              Nope 🙂 We finally have good coaches, Coventry has the forwards humming, and much fitter which is making a hude difference on defence. And Leon is making far better selections than the past two coaches.

                              @Kirwan spot on. And consistent selections too, clarity about what the team needs from different positions

                                  Josh Ioane ruled out of this game. NMS still not available either. Ngane Punivai cleared to play.
