The Silver Fern

That herald article is a joke. Pure hypothesis on the part of the narrator. Whatever happened to "innocent until proven guilty"?<br><br>
Chiefs scrum had sucked for past couple Seasons, and even in some close games. And yet this is the first time I've seen golden oldies rule being applied. I'll give Rennie the benefit of the doubt for that.

Taleni Seu is one exciting prospect. I don't recall any game where he fails to impress. Totally deserves the starting berth. Also hoping for Anton lienert brown to replicate his pre-injury form.<br><br>
Chiefs should get a bonus point victory here, injuries or no. Can't see the Sharks stopping the Chiefs from getting their usual 4+ tries.

A solid scrum makes the 9/10 look good. And the converse is true I suppose. Just based on the mess that the Chiefs scrum placed Webber and cruden in last weekend, I wouldn't go too far to conclude that Barrett has proven himself over cruden.

What hope do we have of fixing our shaky scrum? Is anyone due to return from injury?<br>

Nathan Harris is a hooker and I guess he could help, what about props?</p></blockquote>

Bird? Having that extra push from the locks does a great deal for your scrums too. Might be coincidental, but our scrums have held up when Seu or bird or even Tom tucker were playing in the lock department (second half vs Argentina, vs blues, vs Brumbies).

Geez anyone noticed how j savea got swept aside by pulu, a player with only 2 Super Rugby starts??<br><br>
Really a gem of a player the Chiefs unearthed there. Strong performances against Brumbies and canes. Sure hope he locks down the right wing position for the Chiefs.
