    So have they finally spotted Ruru's limitations?

    The Plummer experiment has at least been shelved, but then the bizzarre selection of Heem?

    nah, they just forgot last week was Christies turn to start.

    Was that 2 starts back to back for Ruru?

          Was class personified for Auckland last year. A proper 15 not some 10 shoehorned into there

            Am I missing a joke? Sullivan is a ten that can play fullback.

              I'm pretty sure that Sullivan played at 10 for Napier Boys before he was poached. Not sure what position he played up in Auckland school rugby

                        @bovidae that's a very different squad. 2 debutants starting and potentially 4 more on the bench. Dunno about Wainui at 13 and Sullivan playing at all. It's just funny how the Chiefs played it down then named this squad.

                            Unavailable for selection:
                            Atu Moli (hips), Alex Nankivell (finger), Chase Tiatia (concussion), Kaylum Boshier (shoulder), Laghlan McWhannell (knee), Luke Jacobson (concussion), Mitchell Karpik (knee), Reuben O’Neill (concussion), Sam Cane (shoulder/pectoral), Simon Parker (foot), Quinn Tupaea (knee).

                            Nankivell probably would have played I think.

                            Edit: Ah Kuoi also has concussion symptoms.

                                Good point in that article that not only did the Chiefs get the draw with a long run of games (including SRTT) but then get the worst travel schedule on top by having to cross the Ta$man every week.

                                I will be keen to see Taulani at this level.

                                Can’t see us winning many lineouts with those throwers though.

                                  Looks like an interesting contest after seeing those teams. Don't quite understand the Blues selection. Could have given a lot more fringe guys a chance. Wonder what the team spirit is like after that call. Don't think the Chiefs fringe guys will lack motivation on Saturday

                                        Yeah, that was the main point of me posting that. A minimum of 10 games in a row without a bye and the trans- Ta$man schedule is a tough ask. As McMillan says, if the Blues had got a losing BP last round the Chiefs team would have been different. But they didn't...

                                          This really makes tipping difficult this week. Zero idea what will happen.
