Jeez, I know they've earned the right but that's a bit of a pisstake team.
Tahs will be going all out. Top four probably out of reach but a win here will put pressure on the Canes in the following game where Force will be going hard to put pressure on the Highlanders.
Seems smart to me. I think freshening up the top team makes sense especially since they will most likely have to beat 3 kiwi teams to win the thing. No point risking injury when the game is of no real consequence.
Yep and we have seen in it in World cups where it is quite usual to save your best team for important games. We all like to see top line up every week, but it ain't going to happen. You earn the right to do these things by playing well all season!

Ah yes playing a B team against the likes of Portugal where the outcome is definitely in the balance
MacDonald obviously knows what's best for his squad though. And he would see freshening them up to be more important than momentum. Although (not to draw comparisons) we know it has gone wrong in the past for teams (ahem 96-19).

Young Joe Roks in full flight. :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

@Tim yeah it didn't look flash... Hopefully just ligaments and not a break...

Hooper can be a real tool.. Albeit a good player

This shoulder to head is a lottery with these referees.
