@mackerzzzz No love for Jacobson? Using only one 7 when we need to get some backup going there?
I would be looking at giving Boshier a run off the bench at some time and Sotutu needs to have some competition to see if that gets him out of his below 2020 performances.

I think Boshier has to be considered and Jacobson...would they be worried about his injury tendencies?
I read that he wants to concentrate on 8 (rugypass article)-sounds like a good idea to me, far more 6 contenders but I'd guess he'd want to put on some more kilos (if he is only about 107kgs).. -

Here's the Chiefs mans take incoming. There's no way McKenzie doesn't start.
We are short on halfbacks.

@Crucial No Clarke due to sevens commitments in your team?
No Clarke because he is playing like a crippled donkey.
Ma'a has entered the chat.
Bad super form only affects you so far at AB selection table. If they think they'll get the players to rise to the occasion, it'll be on.
Sotutu's form has been realllllly average this year, along with Akira. Even Ardie to 8 starts to look tempting

Nonu had plenty of credit in the bank. Clarke has a couple of bucks.

I think on the back of his performance vs the Highlanders he has to play. Although lester Fianganuku deserves a go as well.

Given that he was already fit then that’s pretty damn fit indeed

“I won’t be back to play any part in Super Rugby this year,” he said. “The final for the Top League is scheduled for May 22, and then with quarantine spots getting back to New Zealand isn’t too easy. I won’t be arriving back in New Zealand until about May 31, and then obviously having to quarantine for two weeks.”
With that time line, he'll fit right in the Magpies squad for the Heartland-Ranfurly Shield defence at the end of June. Could be a great first hit-out for him back in NZ; and great for spectators at the ground and tv viewers.

@stargazer fuck that'd be cool to so Guzzler play in the NPC.
-
Might be off topic but what do we think the chances are of having North vs South again this year?
@yeetyaah maybe a N v S of those not in the SRTT final?

@machpants I only mentioned the Heartland-Ranfurly Shield game between the Magpies and a Heartland team, which will normally be end of June. NPC will probably start in August, so it will depend on whether ABs selected for the Bledisloe Cup and TRC will be released. They've done it before, so it could happen, but it's a different time/situation to that Heartland-Ranfurly Shield game.
