Blues v Chiefs

Remember that there are the All Blacks protocols. So ABs are only allowed 180mins over the first 3 games and there are also individual restrictions too
Trask had a really good season with BOP in the Mitre 10 Cup so really looking forward to seeing how he goes

which shows how much NPC i got to watch, given he plays for BOP and i didn't even know that.
I am actually pretty ashamed of myself for that.

Who the hell is the 10?
Very promising youngster - plays for BOP. Has played more fullback than 10 from what i've seen.
Excited to see Tupaea in action too.
That is a handy Chiefs bench.
@KiwiMurph With Dan Hollinshead injury last year Trask got plenty of game time at 10

I wouldn't have a clue who the Waikato first five is

Do you know where Nathan Harris is??

Is Cane at 8 part of a plan for the ABs?
I thought Ardie at 8 would be the go to if no one else looked the goods to replace Read, but if the style changes it could be Ardie at 7 with a more ranging licence and Cane in close.

Hmmm, this line-up doesn't give me much confidence in a Chiefs' win. ABs protocols aside, I don't see the benefit of starting Cane at 8. And why start Trask on debut, and not Cruden?
Is Allardice injured? I can see that as the only reason for Ardron starting at lock, instead of 8.
I like 11-13, 15.

Fletcher Smith, with Rivez Reihana as his back-up?

out hurt for ages
Hopefully it's a leg injury and he's spending his entire time practicing his lineout throwing.

I think they are taking a reverse approach to the bench and hoping for a really strong second half after a (hopeful) first half feeling out process.
I'd rather have Cruden coming on at half time than Trask. ALB can come on and use the benefit of watching the Blues midfield from the stand. Very strong front row to come on and finish as well.

Interesting that Chiefs and Gatland are happy to put Trask at 10 for game 1 meanwhile the Canes won't even put McLutchie in their squad but instead go with 3 journeyman 10s.
@KiwiMurph That's harsh, Fletch Smith is hardly a journey man
