Harry Johnson-Holmes returns for Waratahs quarter-final clash with Chiefs

[NTA]

Paddy Ryan to come on late and give away a crucial penalty

[Yeetyaah]

Screenshot from the team list that someone put in the Blues thread. I like Narawa at 15 and good to see Etene back.

[ARHS]

Narawa at fullback and Cane at 7??

[Yeetyaah]

Que?

Only news during the week was him sitting out training then various articles saying he was all washed up for AB's. I thought a bench spot was the best to hope for. But he is starting. Had expected Stevenson or Ioane at 15.

[Bovidae]

The Chiefs were saying that if this was a final Cane would play. I guess we find out tomorrow...

[ARHS]

@Bovidae so glad he is there. He brings a real urgency to the forward effort. Glad Nankivell back at centre. But surprised neither Tiatia or Stevenson in back 3 for long clearances.
Beware Jake Gordon and players hunting intercepts....

[Crucial]

If that’s the team, I’m pretty happy. Would prefer Ratima to Roe.
I get the point about clearing kicks but Stevenson has never nailed down other aspects of play. In particular he has a habit of shifting the ball into danger.

[Bovidae]

ENS has a useful kick.

I really thought they would stay with Ioane at fullback.

With Papali’i’s form, a move to prop wouldn’t be a bad idea for Cane…

I'm totally aboard the Papali’i’ train. Cane can cover 6/7 from the bench.

Was not expecting him to start. Chiefs have a policy of not starting someone who did not train in the position during the week. Wondered if he might be named in 20 jersey.

[Crucial]

Is this the actual team though?
I haven’t seen an official announcement

Neither have I and looked everywhere.

[Bovidae]

No official team announcement yet. Maybe they are waiting until after today's training to confirm if Cane is playing.
