Chiefs v Highlanders
-
We get a discount on our ticket prices and official merchandise, and priority purchase rights to All Blacks tests.
Members also get to choose their allocated seats every season. This year the seats will have our names on them in case we get lost.
Anyway, I've registered so fingers crossed.

Disappointed to see Hunt at fullback. I thought perhaps it might be a shitty forecast for Friday and the Highlanders were expecting a kicking game, but the weather looks good.
Still would like to see TUJ get a run, but sounds like he had a good Christmas.
Excited to see Fakatava start, certainly shows we are doing everything we can to keep him in blue and gold.

there it is, Fakatava starting
interesting Hunt back to 15 so quickly, not mad as he played well there last year, i imagine we'll see a hunt to 10 and Alaimalo to 15 in the second half

Wow, didn't see that coming. Well, not so soon, anyway! Can't wait to see how he goes!

Stories come out in the press of teams chasing Fakatava - nek minnit - he's starting!
(and yes I know Tony Brown has talked at length about giving him more opportunities this year)

Didnât Smith just talk about an agreement to manage his workload?
If they are going to do that then they need to get the next halfback going donât they?

Nah Caleb Clarke isn't playing.

Here's hoping Weber starts for the Chiefs. Nice little battle between two Magpies halfbacks within the bigger battle between the Chiefs and Landers.

@crucial we could add some "former Otago and unwanted by the Highlanders Weber" into the mix and make it a multi minor union grudge match

@Kiwiwomble Leaving Otago was the best thing Weber ever did. Didn't you say yesterday that Otago has never been able to get out of the Championship? :smiling_face_with_horns:

@stargazer i agree, i was always a bit dark he didn't get a shot with the Landers and that really screwed Otago being able to keep hold of him, obviously Smith has proven the better choice in the long run but still
still love it when he does the Dunedin RFC shark fin
