    there are a couple of positions where we could rotate without loosing too much

    Lentjes in at openside, Hemino back in at 8 or maybe 6 if Frizell needs a break, Ioane shouldn't be too bad, he's had a few weeks off here and there so he could stay at 15 or even 10 if Hunt is tired

    Nareki is where i would be worried, he was very good on the weekend, a couple of great tackles, a couple of turnovers and a try...i think anyone else would be a drop in quality at 11

      You may have noticed me whinging about the Chiefs draw. Highlanders' one is probably the next worst.
      It just looked tome like not a lot of thought had been put in. The teams with international airports on their doorsteps seem to be travelling just to another direct destination while those that have to coach/transfer just to a start point then getting games played further afield. The Brumbies are having to deal with a mini-tour that may or may not be preferable to commuting from Canberra.

      EDIT: Anyway the Qtown game works OK for me as I am going down there for the weekend so will be rugging up and hoping there isn't too much wind whipping off the lake.

        I read that the Highlanders travel was Dunedin -> Auckland -> Sydney -> Perth.

        The Chiefs are seeing plenty of airports and buses on their travels too.

              And the Crusaders got the two top Aussie teams straight up following the SRA final. Three potentially tough games in a row. I don't think that can be discarded either.

                      Hopefully they can be assigned BOK every round, god knows they need all the help they can get.

                          Trophies are quite cold when you are cuddling them to sleep. I should know, I got a trophy when I won the under 11s tennis champs at Burwood back in the day. I used to be a big deal in those parts.
