i can never bring myself to bet against the landers...but if i could i might, this is exactly the kind of game we loose, come off a good win and forgot everything we did right last week

It will be interesting that’s for sure. One team buzzing and confident from a big win the other coming off a bye after starting to find form.
Hard to call except to say that the Chiefs will win

[Gunner]

Pretty good team considering the injuries in the squad.

[Winger]

Injuries are a fact of life (although the Crusaders seem to have had more 'luck' than most teams over the last 3-4 years) . But losing both TUJ and Fakatava in one game is a set-back for sure. I guess they are well covered at HB but the 2 contrasting players worked very well.

But go the Highlanders. It would be good if they can up the std and not just for one game.

Good 23. I'm hoping ENS has done some tackle practice. Happy that Lowe is back. Boshier is a surprise at 7 as I thought Jacobson would take that spot.

More a reflection that Sowakula isn’t going that well this year?

Sowakula has only just returned from injury. Whether he starts in later matches is still to be decided.

[Crucial]

Just bumping this up ready to admire all the Chiefs tries.

[Bones]

Lentjes to finally perform to the standard expected of him over the years.

Evans to show why he's so valued.

Weber to shit the bed.

[Bones]

Tomkinson selection is always so confusing but even more so this week. Playing him constantly at 12, then the 12 gets injured so we bring him back in...at 13 and play someone at 12 who usually plays anywhere outside that.

[gt12]

Annoying start from the Chiefs with that soft penalty

[gt12]

Thanks Mitch!

[Yeetyaah]

Classic Sio

[gt12]

Jesus, ENS! Good finish.

[Bones]

That's not shitting the bed, Brad.

Can somebody explain PP Parkinson's hair style...

boom

Helped by nice illegal block, clever

[gt12]

Terrible from Ah Kuoi there. Wtf was he doing?

[mikedogz]

@mackerzzzz reminds me of Bone Thugs n Harmony in the 90's.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 thought he was invisible?

[antipodean]

That's a fantastic try. Great bit of coaching.
