Chiefs vs Brumbies

[Stargazer]

@Crucial I'm going to be predictable. It's the Brumbies, so Slater will probably be on the bench, but I hope Thompson gets the 16 jersey. I really don't rate Slater.

Slater’s scrummaging saves his neck. I’ve even seen him throw straight recently.

It used to be that I would completely give up on our chances if he came on near the end. Now I just panic.

Chief at home should take this even taking into account the Brumbies form. I'd love to see them keep the ball in scrum longer and really attack the Brumbies.

@Crucial You're consciously choosing Gatland? Having you taken a blow to the head lately?

I have Covid at the moment. Maybe it’s a symptom?

I not sure what is bad about Gatland, he no international player, but quite competent at Super level, we'll swap him for Garden-Bachop at the Canes!!

Did you watch the start of last weeks game? Kicking out on full, missing touch, all core roles of a 10 I would have thought.

His kicking from hand last week was terrible. Has been one of his stronger points up to then. Hoping it was an off day.

It improved once one of his forwards have him a shiner.

@chimoaus as I said he a competent super player, have seen Mounga/BB do same this year. Also not sure if you have watched Ioane at 10 and how often he does it. If we dropped all players at super level that made a couple of mistakes we wouldn't have very many teams on field. That's why some are Super level and not international level.

I used to be decisive, but now I’m not so sure?!

[Crucial]

So maybe Cane. Maybe not.
Narawa and ENS available but we’ll probably only see one of them. Rest looking better but not this weekend

Pity as winning this could really impact the table in the long run. Brumbies have some hard games to come

[Bovidae]

Yeah, one of the wingers returning will help. Can go back to a 5:3 bench too.

[Dan54]

By geez this is a tasty game, surely game of the weekend, just ahead of Clan -Reds?

[Duluth]

Brumbies

James Slipper, Folau Fainga'a, Sefo Kautai, Darcy Swain, Cadeyrn Neville, Rob Valetini, Jahrome Brown, Pete Samu, Nic White (c), Noah Lolesio, Andy Muirhead, Irae Simone, Len Ikitau, Tom Wright, Tom Banks

Reserves: Billy Pollard, Scott Sio, Allan Alaalatoa, Nick Frost, Tom Hooper, Rory Scott, Ryan Lonergan, Ollie Sapsford

[Bovidae]

6 forwards on the bench. No surprise how the Brumbies are going to play.

I doubt the bookies will be paying much for a try to Fainga’a
