@Stargazer Not televised I guess?
@Machpants Nothing in the tv guides, yet. They usually don't, so not holding my breath. I'm also keeping an eye on possible livestreams (the Aussies are better at that than Kiwi teams, so I'm a little bit hopeful for the Tahs v Landers game).

@Tim well it would be nice to have a player like that at the Chiefs - instead of some of the old broken arses we currently have....I;m looking at you Cruden...Thomson
-
Pretty comprehensive looking list
https://www.planetrugby.com/super-rugby-ins-and-outs-for-2020/
@Machpants Thanks for that. The sunwolves have over 60 players in their "Outs" section and about 25 in the "Ins" list. Their changing rooms must be about the size of a mega shopping mall if they had that many players on the payroll.

Isn’t he older than Cruden - what’s his brokenness like?

Is anyone else going to the Chiefs-Blues game in Waihi? I've been to Waihi many times but never to watch rugby. Reports indicate a good crowd for the game.

@Jailbreak7 I'd say the Chiefs are the last team that needs a midfielder. I think they have the best midfield depth in the comp.

Somehow the halfback manages to look short even in head shot profile photo.
Storms are predicted so it could be wet conditions.

that has to be a deliberate wind up! -
The Gallagher Chiefs only pre-season fixture against the Blues in Waihi has sold out this afternoon. The Waihi Athletic Rugby Club has a capacity of 3,700 which has now been reached in ticket sales.
