Blues v Chiefs
-
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

Well he has journeyed from Ta$man to Canterbury to Otago to Wellington without setting the rugby world alight.....

This is his big opportunity

@Tim surely he wouldn't need it. He's quite a lean athlete. Was speed his issue last year?

There are several players with minor injuries who are not available for the opening round including James Parsons (back), Otere Black (rib), Finlay Christie (neck), Gerard Cowley-Tuioti (shoulder), Ezekiel Lindenmuth, Jared Page, Tanielu Tele’a while James Tucker is waiting on scan results on an injured knee..

With rookie hookers and a 6 in the locks (Robinson) I expect the Chiefs to really target the lineout
-
Lamborn is the biggest surprise. I guess he went well in the pre-season?
Looking forward to see how the hookers go. Eklund is a good solid player and then hopefully Niuia can have a similar impact he had at the RWC

As a Chiefs fan, I'm gonna miss Parsons...

I was going to say - this is a big opportunity for Eklund and Nuia. Blues desperately need some new options at hooker.

As a Chiefs fan I'm glad that Akira isn't even on the bench, glad that the Ginga is starting at lock, and quite glad that Lamborn is starting at 7 as he's never really seemed like Super level and he's really a 6.5 up against Cane on the openside, ah crap, scratch that.
I don't know much about Marchant, hopefully, he's not good at feeding Reiko on the wing.
