Miracles have happened! Ruru gone and Sullivan there!
Excited to see how Sullivan goes. Good match to debut in, nothing really on the line
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

@stockcar86 played 10 his whole life back to primary school

Ok I din know that. I thought he had always played 15
-
Players not considered with injury: Patrick Tuipulotu (neck), Jacob Pierce (leg), James Lay (foot). Season-ending: Jone Macalai, Dillon Hunt.
-
Chiefs 13+
-
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

@nzzp why would you not give Jacob Ratumaitavuki Kneepkins a run ..Picking Heem is going nowhere..!

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...

@act-crusader don't you dare try and claim underdog status.
10 time champs playing at home (where they have never lost a playoff game) try to claim underdog status. Gotta love the NZ mentality.

You’re only as good as your last game and the Chiefs won that one...
