Chiefs 2022

@gt12 It remains to be seen if McMillan favours some of his BOP players. I'm thinking of Trask and Narawa in the backline, in particular.

Both are question marks.
With Tiatia there, we could have lots and lots of rocks/diamonds in the back three…

@bovidae could have been a good game to try ENS at fullback but they seem wedded to the idea of all these 10/15s

@ARHS Yeah, it does look like 2 different XVs have been named. 4 extras starting.
Hopefully we see different combinations in that 3rd period. Wrampling is also missing.

I see now. Doh! Tiatia at 12 threw me out from spotting that.

@bovidae wonder if ENS and Stevenson are pencilled in as first choice wings with Narawa seen as back 3 cover or Lowe as wing centre cover. And maybe Slater or Thompson seen as extra loosie cover? Will be interesting to see where players are positioned through the 3 'halves'
I think Chiefs need either Narawa or ENS to break through this season as a strike weapon and expert finisher. There is plenty of depth in forwards and inside and midfield backs. -

In case any of you guys are interested and don't know - your game against Moana Pacifika is actually on sky live right now.

Narawa looks like the man to start at fullback. Acceleration off the mark and very elusive. Maybe ENS and Stevenson fighting for one wing spot with Lowe on the other.
Nick White will be happy with the Chiefs scrum. Thompson still has issues with his throwing.
All up, a decent hit-out for a preseason game. I was hoping that MP would get more possession to test the Chiefs' defence.

Is he good enough under the high ball?
If Thompson can be trusted at LO time, I'm really excited, he looks like a weaopon.

I don't know. IIRC Narawa has played a bit at fullback for BOP but I haven't watched all their games. I don't see Reihana being an option, even though he started there. I would have liked either ENS or Stevenson to spend time at fullback in this game as a comparison but that didn't happen. Tiatia - an impact sub only if in the 23.
