Best chance of an upset?
It's playoff time and I'm still not sure what McMillan thinks is our best 23.
I'd be feeling really good if I was the Tahs.
I'm still pleased though, as I was pretty sure we'd lose to the Canes based on how we are going, so I think we have a stronger chance against the Tahs.
Either way, it won't matter as we won't be beating the Saders twice in a season at their home with this team.

If you like stats, the Chiefs have never lost a playoff game at home (small sample size). Their away record is very good this year so they wouldn't be daunted with a SF in Chch.

Law of small samples/numbers effectively means we are now fucked. I'm going to blame you too

Chiefs co-captain Sam Cane is set to miss Saturday’s Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinal against the Waratahs, as he sits out a second week with a knee injury. The All Blacks skipper sat out much of Tuesday’s training, and while assistant coach David Hill wasn’t ruling the veteran openside flanker out, it’s understood he will indeed be sidelined for the match at FMG Stadium Waikato (4.35pm kickoff). -

@Crucial It was a tough decision, but I thought I better go to my BIL's 50th in Auckland.
Surely you can sneak in an iPad to “check urgent work emails”

Brynn Hall is picking this one for a potential upset.
So Chiefs by 20

I don't know why but I can't help but think the Chiefs have not played like they are the 3rd best side in the comp. Full credit to the team for getting the points but they have not really hit their straps

Not for 80 minutes, no.
When they get going though they are good.
I think the forced use of Ioane at 15 could be an unplanned master stroke though. I have been surprised that we haven’t seen Reihana there but we aren’t party to what goes on elsewhere.
Nothing wrong with the forwards and QT and Poihipi together provide good punch in the midfield. Creative play from the back three is what has been missing. -
