Chiefs vs Hurricanes

cgrant

A big test for Prinsep.

Yes indeed. He had a big workrate against the Rebels but lost too many balls when tackled. It could be costly against Leitch, Cane and Co.

Crucial

Dave Rennie hasn't been listening to @Stargazer . Doesn't he know some of those players are injured?

I'm guessing the TNW at centre thing is part of a game plan. ALB will need to direct things well so this is all good experience for him as well.
Will be a cracker. Chiefs have had the tougher games to get match ready off while the Canes will have gained a lot of confidence from their training runs. If it's one thing we know (because Hammetuer told us) the Canes train very well.

Canes have had cakewalks so far but they have looked really sharp. Hope they take it up a level against some proper opposition.

Son has rugby training while this is being played, so I think I might "watch" him from the clubhouse. Possibly with a beer in paw.

The Super comp might be pretty shit but I live for these kind of games.

Stargazer

@Crucial hasn't been reading my post well. Doesn't he know that I wrote that "hopefully some of these names can be scratched (from the then current injury list) as soon as this week's line-ups are named"?

@Stargazer doesn't realise that only half reading someone else's posts is part and parcel of contributing to the Fern.

I wish the Chiefs could play only Saturday night games. I'm running out of excuses for being late to work on Fridays (and Thursdays)

Bovidae

Nonu Jr has made some rookie mistakes in the 2 games so far, mainly handling errors and poor options, so I'm not surprised they've given him a spell. TNW will need to tackle well, he'll be fine with ball in hand.

It also looks like rain is forecast for Friday so that will put more onus on the forwards and the set piece.

Can't wait for this one. Will be back in Upper Hutt by kickoff. Fridge full of the good stuff.

Canes by 10.

Who's the Beav on for? Is it TNW?

I really don't like malls. Always such a shambles.

I'm not a fan either, too many people for my liking. Parking is always a bitch too.

I do hope that yellow card use is consistent tonight.

Damn the commerce commission for blocking the Vodafone Sky TV merger. No interruptions with an online service!

BBBR crashes over.

Oh, were you meaning mauls - not malls?

Sorry, my bad

Barrett has his radar on 7-6 chiefs.

YC was fair. Not sure it was Ardie that should have copped it though.

Meanwhile another YC. This one for a no arms shot.
