    Lord left the field last week with a knock so it's entirely possible he's unavailable for this week's fixture (which would be disappointing).

    The Chiefs didn't list their unavailable players this week (perhaps just an oversight).

      Lord has probably played less than 100 mins all season.

          So is Lord just dropped? Ouch.

          Refer to my earlier post. If Lord doesn't start he won't be on the bench as a specialist lock with the utility value of Ah Kuoi.

          Yeah, can understand it, just thought he looked to offer a heck of a lot more than Vaai, and surely if they rate Vaai he provides the same cover from the bench, especially when you have PGS there anyway?

          I've found the recent Fern underrating of Vai'i a bit weird. He's put together a decent amount of tests and has always performed for the Chiefs. (Which is not discounting Lord, I expect next year they'll complement each other in the Chiefs engine room).

          I go along, I personally think Vai'i has played bloody well all year. And like you that in no way taking anything away fron Lord, who I also think has looked bloody good, but hasn't had a lot of game time. Lord actually looks to me like he has filled out a bit this year too!

            RWC 2023 Ref Nic Berry.
            IMO Consistently inconsistent and scrums will be a coin toss.. hope he doesn't adversely influence the game too much

              @Dan54 I think Vaai has played his best rugby this year. Just that in his brief cameo Lord showed he's better.

                Does anyone else get really annoyed as soon as Kirstie Stanway starts squeaking like the ultimate fangirl? She shouldn't be in a commentary team; just in the studio.

                  That rain is not ideal for the Chiefs. They really ought to be far too good for the Brumbies here.

                  However I am not convinced by the Chiefs recent form. I suspect it will be closer than it should be.

                                  @Donsteppa TBH, they were going nowhere after umpteen phases.

                                    Chiefs doing what the Blues needed to do last night - attacking close to the ruck.

                                        Vaai watch.

                                        3 or 4 ruck inspections, a missed tackle on Sapsford and what looked like a miss on Valetini. One halfback play.
