Chiefs 2021

[Bovidae]

A real shame. I'd prefer Nankivell to play 2nd 5 instead of Wainui at centre.

[Tim]

@bovidae Wainui is bloody awful in the midfield.

[Bovidae]

@tim I could tolerate Wainui as the backup centre in the 23 but not as a starter.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer And again from Weber...

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Where's the dislike button?

At least Lowe is repping Clive, and in the video 'Apikotoa is repping Taradale (and not some shady club from Lower Hutt).

[Yeetyaah]

Nankivell repping Hautapu as opposed to a Ta$man based club is kinda weird.

Yeah, and he seemed passionate about it in the video. His brother plays for Fraser Tech.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae yeah it is weird. Maybe a switch to Waikato? Does he really play for Ta$man much?

I doubt it. We have Wrampling coming through, as well as Tupaea and Sullivan.

Does he really play for Ta$man much?

Nankivell was always in their top team, until he got injured.

[Yeetyaah]

Based on how McMillan has done compared to Gatland would there be any chance of Gatland maybe not being head coach? Or some kinda double head coach type thing idk.

@gt12 Bobby Boshier hits harder then both of them combined.

Also mentioned in the article (about the Chiefs-Reds game):

Collins is working with Reds counterpart Dave Hanham to negotiate details, hopeful that they can announce a decision by the end of the week, with a home venue outside of Hamilton also an option.

@bovidae It would be great if all Super Round games are played outside the main centres, whether that's in NZ or Oz.

[Bovidae]

I've just been watching the Chiefs-Wales game from 2016, that was recently replayed on Sky. I know a lot of the talk was about the young loose forward trio (Boshier, Brown and Sanders) in this game but ALB was very impressive too, so no surprise he made his AB debut later that year. And not forgetting Beaver...

Gideon Wrampling - After starring for the Gallagher Chiefs U20's at the National U20's tournament last week, Wrampling has been called into the full Gallagher Chiefs squad as a permanent replacement for the remainder of the season.

[Stargazer]

@yeetyaah Who is he replacing?

[Bovidae]

@stargazer Tupaea?

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Oh, yeah, I forgot he was out for the season.

[Bovidae]

While Collins confirmed backs coach Roger Randle is contracted for next season, he wouldn’t disclose the status of scrum coach Nick White, kicking coach David Hill and forwards coach Neil Barnes, though it's understood the latter is unlikely to return, having taken on the Taranaki NPC job.
