    Does anyone want to post a top NZ eligible team of R1. I will start by nominating DMac, Ratallick and Stevenson for the Chiefs

    But too tired now to watch games too closely

      Backs maybe

      Stevenson
      Reece or Clarke and Telea
      Proctor or Reiko
      Barrett
      DMac
      Roigard or Weber

      Savea
      7? Cane or maybe Papalii
      Blackadder
      Ratallick
      ?? Unsure. Not Blackwell
      Lomax
      Aumua,
      Don't know. Didn't pay attention Mafileo, de Grout Ofa or Moody.

        Wing of the weekend was Telea, then daylight.

        On the left, it’d between Reece (work rate, especially on D) and Clarke.

        Ioane at 13 too.

                Dumb yellow card which cost his team massively. I can see why a Chiefs fan would pick him though

                  Akira was playing very well until he went off. But fair point regarding Blackadder. Who instead though.

                    Papali'i played the more than 50mins at 6 this weekend. I would pick him and that makes room for Harmon at 7

                        @canefan Roigard and Weber may have inside running behind Smith for AB's I wonder?
                        Sevu Reece was v good for Crusaders this weekend and Aiden Ross for Chiefs. Frizzell was huge for Highlanders.

                            I thought that Parkinson was better than Dickson for the Highlanders. The latter still gives away some dumb penalties.

                            I'd pick IWL as the other lock myself.

                                I thought that Parkinson was better than Dickson for the Highlanders. The latter still gives away some dumb penalties.

                                I'd pick IWL as the other lock myself.

                                Didn't IWL give away some dumb penalties too. Otherwise had a good gameq

                                  Thought Vaa’i was very good and perhaps not as noticed as the attention was on BBBR.

                                  Sadly Akira didn’t use the time off to learn to use his legs to drive in contact. Annoys the hell out of me that Frizell is one of the few tight/loosies that does because Akira is easily better than him in other aspects. As soon as he makes contact he just leans his weight forward and shrugs trying to shake the tacklers off. If only he stayed more balanced and pumped his huge legs…..

                                      @Crucial it used be his strength.

                                      He has genuinely gotten worse with years of professional coaching

                                        It’s weird. There’s hardly ever any knee lift. I do vaguely remember when he was younger that he would stride through contact a bit like Ardie. Now he looks like he has been trained by Owen Franks.
                                        Is he too top heavy? 😉
