Stormers v Chiefs
-
As expected stormers meeting a NZ team for the first time and being schooled.
-
The Chiefs have been so savaged by injury this season. Fully fit squad and they win the competition.

The Chiefs have the players to play this style plus a Coach to boot.</p></blockquote>
Shovelling the ball from side to side behind the advantage line is not a style. It's just incompetent. -
Lowe or Savea?<br><br>
It's becoming a genuine Q these days. -

<p>Don't think they're going to bring in a player in the AB environment who's never been there. Even DMac might not be there for the RC.</p> -

<p>Agree. Think it'll be pick of bunch. If Lions and Canes win Chiefs will have to stay in SA.</p>

<p>Eh? Shouldn't it be Canes vs Chiefs, Lions vs Landers?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Fun game to watch so far, some real classy skills being shown by the Chiefs.</p> -

The advantage of Lowe is that he makes Dagg less necessary as a kicking option. Makes Ben a more attractive option for fullback. -

<p>Yes, that will be the semis if the Chiefs win.</p> -

<p>If that's the case, that's fucking stupid. They introduced two new wingers in a shortened RC last year and that was a RWC year, now is the best time to experiment and introduce new players. 2012 saw Cane, BBBR, Romano, Aaron Smith, Barrett and a few others I can't remember right now introduced.</p>

<p>Might just be waiting for the results, I guess?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Massive scrum from the Chiefs turns over the ball and DMac's in! Fuck the scrum has improved throughout the season.</p> -
Lowe had his faults but 11 is currently a problem position for NZ. I'd have no problem seeing him given a chance and Savea dropped. Otherwise he'll just head overseas disillusioned.
