    <p>How has the league convert been going?  Did Tom Sanders play last season? I don't recognise the name. Where is he from?</p>

      <p>Sanders is an 8/6 from Canterbury. Played ITM Cup last year. Had an impressive season with them. Was also part of NZ U20s in 2014.</p>

              Sanders is an excellent prospect and was a real find in the ITM Cup last season. But to be fair to Toddy, even with McCaw retiring we still have quite a few good loose forwards that were already signed. We needed openside cover for Matt Todd and we got Boys, we really didn't need another 6/8. <br><br>
              Good luck to Sanders in the Chiefs squad.

                <p>Can understand the reasoning above, but personally I'd have selected him ahead of Pete Samu. Whom I think is a bit lightweight for a 6 at super level.</p>
                <p> </p>
                <p>Agree, good luck to Sanders. Watched a couple of lincoln university club games last year and he's the type of player I love. Big, Abrasive and fearless in contact.</p>

                    10-0 to Chiefs after 10, and so far the Chiefs are looking good. Moala also looks good.<br><br>

                    Fuck. As I type that, Ngatai goes off injured.

                          And scores. <br><br>
                          Looked like a better looking maul - ball has to be transferred to it looks a bit more 'real'

                            West just shoveling it on so it's impossible to get a read on him. <br><br>
                            Ranger looks slow. Blues scrum is good. Moala with his expected power.

                              <p>Marshall still can't throw into the lineout - I hope Hika is fit to go next week.</p>

                              <p>An even game so far.  The Blues have had more territory but too many handling errors while on attack, from Luatua especially.</p>

                                      Excellent presence of mind gives Hall a try - although I think that rule should be changed.
