    Bloody power cuts!

    I wouldn't have picked both locks and midfielders would be changed.

    Unavailable for selection: Kaleb Trask, Josh Lord, Gideon Wrampling, Malachi Wrampling, Tupou Vaa’i, and Anton Lienert-Brown.

    @Bovidae

    Is Parker covering lock or would Finau move?

      AJ Lam back at 12.

      Could he be seen as a permanent 12 option for next year?

        Probably Finau, although Parker has played lock before.

        At least McMillan and co have worked out that Boshier shouldn't be starting at 7. More interest is that Poihipi is the 1st 5 cover.

          Hmm looks like a token effort from Chiefs for a result. More about getting peripherals more game time in readiness for QF.

                Dead rubber for Chiefs.
                Power shortage up in tight five, but robust loosies and the match up with Blues trio will be tasty.
                And that midfield given ball is very skillful and could dent a couple of repuations.

                  Watch out Harry Plummer, Samipeni Finau is looking for you.

                      A stat from today's newspaper:

                      427

                      That's the number of days since the Chiefs and Blues last played each other.

                      In that time the Blues have played the Crusaders four times, while the Chiefs have played the Hurricanes and Crusaders four times each.

                      This just shows how poorly designed the SR draw is, as there was meant to be some rotation in the number of times you played each NZ opponent.

                        Looking forward to this one. The battle of the loosies should be good. Great to see Finau back.

                          Huge late changes to the Blues.

                          Christie 9 (urgh)
                          Perofeta 10

                                If the Blues get a win in this game without a BP, the late penalty miss by Perofeta in Wellington will have a bigger consequence.

                                  Were both teams playing mind games with the team names?

                                    I hope Plummer has a belter of a game at 12 to show Razor he would be a fool not to pick him ahead of DH.
