@crucial check the other game thread.....
I don’t think I want to now.

That Ruben Love comes across as a kid with a future. Really seems to have smarts and his head screwed on going by his appearance on Breakdown last night.
He mentioned that he has been training solely as a fullback but surely he is also an option at 10?@crucial said in SRA Round 4: Hurricanes v Chiefs:

-
I'd expect Lowe and ALB to start. I'd still be fine with McKenzie at 10 and Stevenson at 15 but idk there's a hard on for Gatland.
-
@yeetyaah They might do to Lowe what they did to Falcon, last year. Make him play for BOP for the Chiefs Centurion Cup. :pouting_face:

The positives of that Canes' line-up: Numia starting ahead of Armstrong, Campbell ahead of Taumateine.
The negatives: many, but particularly not starting Flanders, Leger at 10, PU-J on the bench and starting Proctor; O'Reilly on the bench instead of Thompson. Visinia should have been in the 23 instead of either the Bus or Goosen. Still no Toala. Grrrrrrrrrr

@stargazer Ledger really? Glad Rayasi gets a start but seems to be pick the same old with Prinseep, Blackwell and Proctor.
I kinda wish and I know this is blasphemy but I want Jordie to go off with a very very minor injury so he can’t kick or cover 10 and watch the coaches squirm. -

@stargazer That backline looks like it would not pose much of a threat to most NPC backlines, numbers 11 and 15 excepted.

@stargazer I'll repeat what I said earlier based on these selections, if the Chiefs are going to get a win it will be this game.
-
@mikey07 I'd even rather have Toala at 10 than Ledger. He's played there before and he's a really good goal kicker.
@stargazer Yeah Toala is another that has hardly been spotted which possibly like Rayasi will leave at the end of the year and who would blame him.

You could probably add Gareth Evans to your list of angsts as well. Would R Prinsep even make the HB contracted players list let alone the matchday 23 given we have some big huas in the team that are not often seen on the pitch?
