<p>Weak looking Chiefs team!!! Hurricanes by 13+!!!!! Savea is gonna smash Cane back into the dark ages!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>Just so the Horrell fans don't get all upset,<span> not considered for selection: </span></p>
<p><span>Nepo Laulala, Mitchell Karpik, Pauliasi Manu, Sam Henwood, Johan Bardoul, Glen Fisiiahi, Maama Vaipulu, Michael Allardice, James Tucker, Charlie Ngatai, Andrew Horrell, Stephen Donald, Augustine Pulu (All Blacks Sevens).</span></p> -
<p>I don't understand the chopping and changing of the halfbacks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Amazing bench!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Oh and I am really liking Sam McNicholl. Only first noticed him against Wales where he played a blinder and he keeps getting stronger in the game. Good decision maker.</p> -

<p>Tactics. TKB will provide better defence around the fringes of the ruck, where the Canes will look to use their runners.</p> -

<p>Geez, that's 13 tighthead props unavailable. Hope we won't have to go to Golden Oldies again. </p> -
<p>I hope we see a similar performance to this one by the mighty Canes. (Note Angus Gardner is refing) </p>

<p>Yeah I get that but for some reason I am preferring Weber to get things moving</p> -
<p>I'm picking it to be more like this though.</p>

<p>You were lucky you didn't notice his cabbage early season form.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I always knew they'd bring TKB back in for this one for reasons that Bovidae mentioned above.</p> -
<p>Really looking forward to this game. If there are no TMO/reffing controversies, it will be great to watch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The weather forecast says "Showers and gale northwesterlies, easing later". So it won't be as bad as last week. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Four hours ago, the Canes tweeted that 25,000 tickets had been sold. Not a sell-out yet (capacity 34,500??), but a good crowd.</p> -
Not happy with Brad Webber not starting. All TKB really offers is that he is the best defensive half back in the competition. And that is fine that he is a standout tackler<br>but surely you should be picking your half back for his offence coordination abilities.
