That Chiefs backline looks pretty decent, but the Landers one has the makings of something special. Experience, speed to burn, plenty of robust attackers that like to offload in the tackle, accurate goal kicker in Lima, the best passing halfback, excellent defensive midfield.
Their pack isn't too different to last year and am expecting continued improvement from the likes of DLB, Ainley and Squire.
Ainley is 35. Not sure how much improvement you're going to get...

the good old "on paper" match up is interesting. I really like the Highlanders 8-15, while i reckon we look better at 1-5.
If anyone is having difficulty with your tips for this fixture, bet on the team with the better spine...

Don't be so ageist...
He only made his debut back in 2015 and last season made a big step up at this level. A sign of things to come.
