@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

For who prefers pictures:
@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?

@higgins I'm still not quite sure whether Evans is injured or not. That's why I didn't mention him. If Evans is fit, I'd prefer: a backrow of Evans, Ardie and Flanders, with Kirifi on the bench. I guess we'll have to wait and see who are playing for the Hunters on Saturday.

@yeetyaah Preferably with a hat-trick from Lowe.
The Chiefs must be kicking themselves don't have T Falcon as an option as well. Come to think about it you could almost say the same about the Hurricanes but their inability to select appropriately is so ingrained in them that it will take a miracle for that to change.

I was always a fan of Falcon , too higgins, not sure why they let him go.

I get a feeling it advantage Chiefs with this team. -
look at all you Hurricanes fans falling over each other to declare yourselves underdogs and the Chiefs, a team that hasn't won a game since before COVID fucked everybody's lives up, as morals.
I almost miss the unbridled overrating of your squad. almost.

@mariner4life The Chiefs have the better coach and squad; just lacking the confidence.

@mariner4life This week's Hurricanes team is very NPC though.
