      I was expecting/hoping for a Nankivell-Sullivan midfield.

      That backline from 11-15 looks as muddled as the Chiefs' selections throughout the season.

        Also, no one has mentioned the P word yet. Unless he's injured?

          Some interesting selections. Just wonder if 1 or 2 non starters might be on standby for drafting to ab squad if more covid impact. Does not look like strongest 15 to me.

                They are clearly going with a '3 fullback' back 3.

                That was always going to be likely from the squad selected. It's not some tactical genius just a complete lack of wing options.

                Edit: are we sure that George doesn't have iwi affiliation? There's a well known māori song about him after all...

                    Are you saying that gingas can't have māori geneology? Is that your point? Or are you trolling?

                    Tell that to my very pale skinned, red haired cousin that is a direct descendant of Te Peeti Te Aweawe.

                    Ever heard of Urukehu? Or remember this guy...?

                            Grace doesn't even look like a full blown ginga anyway. He's no Christie.

                                      @Frank still why?

                                      Are you saying that gingas can't have māori geneology? Is that your point? Or are you trolling?

                                      Tell that to my very pale skinned, red haired cousin that is a direct descendant of Te Peeti Te Aweawe.

                                      Ever heard of Urukehu? Or remember this guy...?

                                      Fully aware of it. Basically it was bit of a joke that you didn't get and you opted to give me a Maori lesson.
                                      (and it's genealogy, not geneology)
                                      Cheers bro!

                                      Ok. Obviously didn't spot the joke. Was there a laugh with it?

                                        I know nothing of Suafoa, I'm surprised he's starting ahead of TK who was one of the few bright spots for the Hurricanes this season. Did Suafoa get any gametime for the Blues?
