      @ARHS Yeah, it does look like 2 different XVs have been named. 4 extras starting.

      Hopefully we see different combinations in that 3rd period. Wrampling is also missing.

        @crucial sorry tried to put a question mark. But the way they ordered the players it looked a bit that way.

            I see now. Doh! Tiatia at 12 threw me out from spotting that.

              Three front rowers in the "reserves", plus a halfback. Slater was decent at 7.

                @crucial Tiatia looks to be named on the left wing. Lowe at centre.

                  @bovidae wonder if ENS and Stevenson are pencilled in as first choice wings with Narawa seen as back 3 cover or Lowe as wing centre cover. And maybe Slater or Thompson seen as extra loosie cover? Will be interesting to see where players are positioned through the 3 'halves'
                  I think Chiefs need either Narawa or ENS to break through this season as a strike weapon and expert finisher. There is plenty of depth in forwards and inside and midfield backs.

                    @arhs The second preseason game should give a better idea of a likely Rd 1 team. After all the conjecture Trask is missing too. Maybe injured. The others not involved who haven't been mentioned are Ross, O'Neill, Brown and Parker.

                          Narawa looks like the man to start at fullback. Acceleration off the mark and very elusive. Maybe ENS and Stevenson fighting for one wing spot with Lowe on the other.

                          Nick White will be happy with the Chiefs scrum. Thompson still has issues with his throwing.

                          All up, a decent hit-out for a preseason game. I was hoping that MP would get more possession to test the Chiefs' defence.

                            @bovidae thopson will be a weapon if his throwing can be fixed
                            thought all the usual names went well and the next tier down did there roles.
                            back three is going to be our issue but Narawa has to be in it somewhere

                              Is he good enough under the high ball?

                              If Thompson can be trusted at LO time, I'm really excited, he looks like a weaopon.

                                I don't know. IIRC Narawa has played a bit at fullback for BOP but I haven't watched all their games. I don't see Reihana being an option, even though he started there. I would have liked either ENS or Stevenson to spend time at fullback in this game as a comparison but that didn't happen. Tiatia - an impact sub only if in the 23.
