All media I'm consuming is picking Chiefs to take this, except Parsons.

Interesting, I've heard quite a few people picking the Canes (including Parsons). This game is literally 50/50 for me, could go either way.
The media are also flakey as fk, how many times have people flipped flopped this year on who they think will win the comp, it changes every week. Chiefs were the best performing team last week, doesn't mean that will be the case this week. Small margins in these games.

Canes have been the smokeys all season, very rarely picked as winners or top dogs in the big games. Yet here they are top of the table with home semi! Once good performance by the Chiefs and that's enough for them to be favourites in the media away from home against the top team.
I am sure it'll be close

@Machpants rarely picked as winners in the big games? We've been favourites on our home patch in the big games, and we are favourites again this week. Not sure what you're talking about.
As I said the media are flakey with their predictions, they've gone Blues as favourites, then picked the Canes as favourites, now it's the Chiefs. Any team can win from here but the Canes are favourites for this one because they've won 9 on the trot at home including wins against the Crusaders, Chiefs, Blues, Highlanders etc.
The Chiefs were favourites in Hamilton despite the Canes looking the better of the teams leading into that game. Home advantage is massive.

Ruben Love expected to be named in 15 but will be getting similar treatment to last week. May be a late pull like last week but the hope is he can tough it out.

Thanks for the scoop. On the Canes story today he was running around with a smile on his face. Hope that points to him playing this week.

@Canes4life TAB had us as outsiders at home versus Blues and Chiefs from memory.
@foobaNZ we were faves against the Chiefs but underdogs against the Blues at home but not by much. We were also faves against the Saders in Chch which is also always a big game.

@nzzp I reckon those odds will shift towards the Chiefs if Lomax and Love aren't named at 4pm.
