Chiefs v Brumbies

[Old Samurai Jack]

Style-wise, that can only be worn in the Tron or by some homeless cat-lady in Los Angeles.

@Old-Samurai-Jack

Yeah, I reckon it's fucking awful.

[Toddy]

Looks like a squashed turkey

i finally, after a few years, thought "they, that's actually a pretty sick Chiefs jersey for once"

And now we are back to this busy abomination.

[mikedogz]

The Rugby and Rhythms round. If you just want to watch the rugby you still have to pay the elevated price.

[Bovidae]

Taukei’aho could be making his return.

[Yeetyaah]

From what I've heard, and again take this with a grain of salt, this is a trial for Super Round to see how well this idea runs.

Having a mini festival or having it in Hamilton?

[Yeetyaah]

@Mr-Fish both

[Bovidae]

A few more changes.

[Bovidae]

Carter has been rested. I've never been a fan of Mataele. Prove me wrong.

[ploughboy]

matale is probably next best option if not playing wrampling or rona
Ahio needs to step up . didn't do enough last year to get more than one game, need more than that

[Bovidae]

Yes, he seems to have been favoured over Malimali in the pre-season games. I suppose Mataele will be Poihipi's injury replacement too. No mention of who has replaced Sititi in the main squad. Jacob Norris I assume.

[Tim]

Great to see Taukei’aho back.

[Machpants]

Ozzie team, so Finau starts to fold some fluffybunnies tens

Is the flag thing new? Or have I missed it previously.

Has had me madly googling "yellow ensign" (turns out to be Niue), and "Cook Islands flag" (blue ensign with the circle of stars).

Assume it shows their ethnicity/ancestry?

Interesting Ah Kuoi has a Chinese flag. Assume his name traces back to there.

Cool idea.

[ploughboy]

@booboo cultural round

[Bovidae]

The Brumbies will be wearing their indigenous jersey.

[cgrant]

I am stunned by the changes on the bench. The Taranaki props had a hell of a game when they came in against the Saders and I was expecting to watch them again this week against a strong Brumbies scrum.
