Chiefs vs Brumbies

As someone with an innate hatred anything from Of Plenty I don't understand why so many Chiefs fans are down on Trask. I've always found him a decent player.

Simple. Bop supporters have seen him appear shy at the contact for some time as if he is protecting a shoulder. There clearly was an injury but he needs to remove the doubts. He burst on the scene full of confidence before that became noticeable and needs to show he has regained it.

That Chiefs pack has 6/8 2021 ABs and arguably the rest as 'in the frame" as well as, quite possibly, the future "spine" of the AB lineout (hooker, locks). It will be very interesting to see how they go against the Brumbies.

Protecting a few injuries including the glass jaw. I agree about needing to refind his initial confidence, if that Kaleb turns up then we would be more optimistic. I suspect he will need more game time personally before we see that.

The other feature of the reserves is that Moli is back to being a TH, whereas all of his earlier games off the bench were at LH. A big test against Sio in the scrum.

Where he should be if we want to see the best of him (I hope).
Sio is playing fucking well.

With Norris back Moli will play at TH, particularly as Mafileo is confirmed to be gone for the season. It's usually been Slipper off the bench for the Brumbies, and he is a better scrummager than Sio. Ta'avao needs to front up too.

Pull Gatland from the field. I saw that charge down coming yesterday.
