Hurricanes v Chiefs

Chiefs have firm claim to being underdogs..
Don’t forget that the Canes ditched the Chiefs coach years ago.

They did ditch him for the Hammetuer so it evens out a bit. But Canes are definitely favourites, home town advantage and they can't keep playing as shit as they have been so far. The Chiefs have played above themselves this year but the Canes should be a class above.

"Can't keep playing shit" is one of the more ludicrous reasons to think your team will win.

My college team has been shit all year. The good money is that they will continue to be shit, at least till next season. Teams playing badly don't, as a whole, suddenly find their mojo.

Unless you think the Hurricanes will go "how stupid of us. We should find our form now."It's It's probably under the bed.

If the Hurricanes win, it'll be Barrett magic, rather than suddenly getting good again.

@chester-draws I think you missed the point of my post (and my team is the other one - you clearly weren't here in the dark days of the endless Hammetuer thread?).

@nepia I caught some of the Hammeteur era, but I've been off the Fern more than on for the last 15 years.

Still don't get it though.

Well anyway, I'm just talking the Canes up while quietly confident the Chiefs will do the business - if they don't though I will refer back to that post and say I knew it all along.

Evening chaps and Mokey.

I only pop into the fern every now and again now days. Just thought I'd say "c'mon the canes" but am in an optimistic ("c'mon the canes) but pragmatic (I think the Chiefs forwards are just better than the loose canes one to eight) mood before the game. Couldn't go to game tonight but have Sky and beer.

May the best team (and most capable of beating the crusaders) win.

Chiefs for the win. I think their forward pack is better.
Fifita can't even make the starting line-up.

Christ that bloke is an enigma. Hero to zero in no time at all. I've never seen anyone hurdle a tackler but he did ! He's still young enough to come good I guess.

Maybe he's trying the Frizell way of getting into the ABs?

@canefan I think you have nailed it the Chiefs will win this, they seem to want it more looking from the outside

Haha what the fuck? Game of two halves. Full credit.

Whoever gets more points should take the win on the night

Dunno about the canes backline. I'd have been tempted to start Goosan at 13 so JB could move to 15 with his massive boot. NMS to the bench to start something as fresh legs.
