Chiefs 2021

@yeetyaah I was going to mention that defence is still a work-on for ENS. Ironically, the opposition have been scoring most of their tries on the other flank.
As I said, I'd keep ENS and Lowe as the wingers.

Having a scan through the squads from last Sat, I can't see Kumeroa listed in any team. A LH prop obviously.
Lowe can't be that ill if he is meant to be playing in this game.

@bovidae I'm a bit pissed off about the Lowe situation. Funny he's actually just turned up to the coffee club Te Rapa where I'm having breakfast. I don't know why he's "sick" and can't play vs the Blues but he can play the u20s.
From what I understand, he has missed most or all of the Chiefs' training this week due to illness, and that's why he isn't in the main squad. So not because he's still sick.

It seems a shame that they don’t try to monetize these games with a Super Rugby D1 and D2. We’d get 2 more games per week and we’d be able to see how the squaddies and youngsters are coming along. It might also keep those who are playing consistently in the D2 team from feeling too hard done by.

@mikey07 Is Nathan Harris coming back from injury or is his naming as only a reserve for a reserve team a massive fall in grace?

Thinking ahead for the rest of SRA and the loss of Cane, the Chiefs have a couple of options.
Option A is that L Boshier is fit and available soon so he can slot into the 7 jersey, with Brown and Jacobson.
Option B is that Jacobson moves to openside like he did when Cane went off against the Blues. That means Sowakula probably starts at no.8.
Option C is that Karpik (if fit) plays at no.7 if Boshier is still unavailable. I'm not going to repeat myself about what I think about Karpik at SR level.My preference is definitely option A. Option B would be a band-aid fix but McMillan has stated he likes Jacobson at no.8 so he gets his hands on the ball.
As to a squad replacement for Cane, based on who played for the Development team, that should be Kapeli or Motuga.

I'm guessing Boshier isn't far off? Good thing we have the bye, though Jacobson or even Karpik aren't bad stop gaps. Think Jacobson played 7 in age grade?
