Just the chiefs.

Have alway wondered why Arnold has played so little test rugby. He has always impressed with his ball carrying and defensive maul work. When someone as average as Simmons can get so many caps, it's even more surprising.

Inside word from senior management is he doesn't call lineouts, so they won't risk starting him where the bench can't do that job too.
Not an issue I understand given how simple that task seems.

@antipodean Do I need to tell my story about watching Crusaders v reds with a bunch of fluffybunnies from Waiwhakamukau North Island in Samoa on my honeymoon again? Short ending: Me and the the hotel staff had a great time, the jealous pathetic pig islanders left embarassed muttering to themselves about Justin Marshall and Reuben Thorne. They were supporting the FUCKING REDS over a kiwi team, Samoans were shocked.
-
@KiwiMurph Yes, I agree. Just wish they hadn't scored them against a Kiwi team.

Fuck yeah!
I have far more connection to chief's ferners than I do to NZ as a whole. I'd hate New Zealand, as a collective, to feel as demoralised, devoid of hope and shit as....(insert any fern chief supporter here) does right now.
Fuck patriotism when you can imagine the likes of @mariner4life question if he actually has more time for the Brisbane Lions than his birthrite rugby team....
And all on Brodie's 100th you fluffybunnies

@Stargazer not sure you can just flush the dunny. Some changes required. McKenzie makes way too many mistakes and runs across field, so canāt see the Chiefs improving with him at 1st five. Stephenson just kicked the ball away with a meaningless grubber early on after the Chiefs had held the ball and built pressure - and then was a turnstile on defence for rest of game. That backline looked horrible. End the experiment and put Mckenzie back at full back where he doesnāt have to run the game.

My pissed off verdict on the players.
- Aidan Ross - Garbage

- Michael Allardice - Drop this dude.
- Mitchell Brown - Meh
- Lachlan Boshier - ļ¹°Alright
- Tyler Ardron - Meh
- Te Toiroa Tahuriorangi - Trash
- Damian McKenzie - Go back to Gore
- Etene Nanai-Seturo - Didn't do much, meh
- Anton Lienert-Brown - ļ¹°Best ļ¹°Chief on the field
- Tumua Manu - Trash
- Ataata Moeakiola - Scored a good try, bad on defence, meh.
- Shaun Stevenson - Go play for the Blues
Reserves:
16. Samisoni Taukeiāaho - Good, fuck Harris
17. Tevita Mafileo - Meh
18. Sosefo Kautai - Garbage
19. Taleni Seu - Average line out, meh
20. Mitchell Karpik - was only on for 10 mins didn't see much
21. Jonathan Taumateine - same as above
22. Orbyn Leger - Probably would have been a better starter over McKenzie
23. Bailyn Sullivan - Shit defence.I'm shook.

Haven't watched it. Scores popping up on my watch. Is it 2002 again?

Oh, I agree 100%. I meant more that we as rugby fans should move on asap. It's far too frustrating to spend too much time thinking about games like these.
Not sure when Debreczeni will be back, and also not sure whether Cooper would even consider starting him at 10 and Dmac at 15, but it would IMO be the best thing to do. Dmac at 10 just doesn't work, but with Falcon out for the season, they may not want to make that change.

Bloody hell has anybody checked to make sure the Ferret wasn't in the coaching box with Colin Cooper.
