Highlanders vs Chiefs

Stargazer

Fuck, Smith.

I’m a bit worried seeing L Whitelock playing at 6.

Requested? I fucking hope not.

I read somewhere last week that they had moved Luke Whitelock to 6 to make room at 8 for Dixon, who has been playing very well the last few games. So I don't know whether the ABs selectors have had anything to do with that move.

Bloody knees. Who needs 'em

Show pony on Chiefs are fucked

@Stargazer

I’d prefer that!

Whitelock’s making a shit deal of it, at least.

Wow Ioane taking a leaf out of the Mo'unga play book

Chris

Mitch Hunt goes to the Landers to sit on the bench Josh Ioane miles better player

Feel sorry for Chiefs there - Highlanders cleaning out from the side phase after phase and ref Fraiser doesnt give a fuck.

Jailbreak7

Wouldn't mind seeing Ioane going to the WC as third choice 10. That would make a full house of Ioane's...

antipodean

That break from Ioane was brilliant. Nice patience from the Clan to result in another try from a stunning pass from Aaron Smith.

Stargazer

@Chris Ioane is definitely putting his hand up to become the 3rd ABs 10. He probably won't make the RWC squad, but he might be the back-up who has to have his bag packed, just in case ...

Chris B.

Josh Ioane and Hemopo having very good games - and Smith and Smith have got it (still)!

Aaron Smith is owning it

Chris

@Stargazer 3rd best by a wee way I reckon a bit of Mounga about Ioane

KiwiMurph

Alaimalo really has shit hands.

sparky

Aaron Smith and Ben Smith all class.

Liam Coltman, Jackson Hemopo, Elliott Dixon and Josh Ioane giving the ABs selectors something to think about.

Luke Whitelock less so.

Chris

@sparky Luke Jacobsen also

Jailbreak7

@sparky Whereas ALB and Jacobson have easily been the Chiefs best by a long chalk.

Jailbreak7

Love that LO move!

mariner4life

Sexy try

@Jailbreak7

ALB has been superb this year. One of the very best performers in the competition.
