SF - Hurricanes vs Chiefs
-
@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.

@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.

Starting ABs everywhere, proper Super Rugby Team. Inevitable

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.

Parsons really wants the Chiefs to win so the Blues can have a home final.

So they’ve announced this game for 4.35pm on Saturday. I really don’t get the logic behind that considering it’s a big game and the crowd numbers would be a lot higher (close to a sellout) if it was at 7.05pm. Both the club and college rugby community in Wellington won’t be able to get to the game now. They’ll be f’d off.
If they want to make it family friendly then play it on a Sunday arvo so then everyone can go.
A strong team except for our backs reserves and Cameron that are a bit so-so.
I'm unsure why Sullivan is rated so highly.

That’s why we don’t listen to him.

The Chiefs have by far the better 10, which counts for a lot come finals time.

@No-Quarter he didn’t do much the last two times we played you. Probably a game for him to remind everyone why he should be the AB no 1 ten though.
Proctor’s playing aswell. We don’t lose when he’s in the field.

I knew the Canes coaches traditionally like short players but in the field?
