Hurricanes v Chiefs

@mariner4life said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:
it's got to the point now where i can't see how we win. What advantage do we have that we can exploit?
The Kirwan/Umaga years have made me an expert at clutching at straws
Chiefs losing margins in this comp:
1, 12, 5, 7, 2, 4, 13One moment of cheese and you get one more try
One more try and it would've been 4 wins, 2 losses and a game taken to extra time

Yeah, there's definitely loser and whiner mentalities that have taken hold in the Chiefs. Wouldn't want that to contaminate the All Blacks squad.

oh shit mother fucker, it's on now
you Blues boys have been up and about for 5 fucking minutes and you think you can erase the better part of a decade and a half of mediocrity, finger-pointing, and whinging?
I do not think so sir!

@mariner4life It's been most concerning seeing this change in Anton Lienert-Brown, the excuses coinciding with his plunge in form. Probably been spending too much time with Brad Weber.

To be fair to Anton, how can you know where to stand and when to run with Helen Keller lobbing the ball from rucks?

@antipodean and a gameplan orchestrated by Nickelback!

@KiwiMurph No. I think only the guys who've signed with French clubs have left NZ.
-
Interestingly Fidow gets dropped for Rakete Stones. I thought Fidow has been impressive off the bench, I don't think RS provides that same impact. Also IWL makes way for Le'aupepe. The fact that IWL has been out of favour lately makes me think he's on the move next year.

@Nepia They still have to get off that bench ..
I'm hoping they don't so I don't get mixed emotions.

@Canes4life Not sure IWL has been dropped. He withdrew from the Crusaders game with an injury, so maybe he hasn't recovered yet.
Edited to add that PRS adds more power to the scrum than Fidow. Having watched the Chiefs' scrum crumble against the Crusaders, that may be what they're targeting. Just guessing, of course.
