He's had a heavy workload, but the thought of running out a backline with no DMac or ALB in Sydney doesn't sound like much fun...
we can't make the final. we can't come last. we're playing our 4th game in Australia. Who actually cares? get some experience in to the kids.

Be nice to keep the Waratahs losing streak going though.

I think/hope we can get away with Tupaea and Nankivell.
I think Sullivan is also officially a midfielder if we want to go crazy ( @Bovidae is that right)
The biggest thing is getting the bench right - we dont want Tupaea finishing the game on the wing.
Up front, I really hope they sent over Moli, Ah Kuoi and Finau or none of it will matter...

Play ALB, he can rest next week

Is sowakula leaving?, I saw an article that he had resigned for next year but there is some rumours that he could be leaving and judging by one of his Instagram posts it could be true
-
@cliff He has signed through to 2023. I think his instagram posts are just referring to the end of the season and players leaving for their NPC provinces.
@stargazer fair enough we will need the depth
-
But tough on Roe, thought he ended up being pretty good. No memory of even seeing Poihipi on the park!

Yeah, Poihipi's first and only start was for the Chiefs B team against the Blues. He had been a reserve in one match prior to that.
As I said above, Finau had the most impact from the rookies across SRA. Perhaps they didn't want to choose a WTG player. So Roe then.

Got some oil yesterday that Lachlan Boshier is heading offshore after the Bunnings NPC..,no real surprise I guess given that’s he’s had no love from the All Black coaches ..
Also Jordie Barrett is a possible Chiefs signing for 2022. -

Also Jordie Barrett is a possible Chiefs signing for 2022.The first one there was assumed already, the second seems odd. I don't see the upside unless those that follow the gossip columns/ instagram know something?
Rugby wise the Chiefs have a pile of 10s/15s unless DMac at 10 is the future. Maybe JB has been promised a crack in the centres alongside ALB? If that worked it could be hi way out of the back three puzzle in the ABs. -
