Blues v Chiefs

[Tim]

In some late changes for the already injury-ravaged Chiefs, Brodie Retallick has withdrawn from the Chiefs starting XV with an eye injury sustained at training, while fullback Shaun Stevenson has suffered what appears to be an ankle injury in the pre-match warm up. As a result, Mitchell Brown will start at lock, while it appears that Stevenson will be replaced by Damian McKenzie, with Tiaan Falcon coming off the bench to 10.

Fuck.

[Tim]

McKenzie at 15 with Falcon at 10 might actually be an improvement.

[Bovidae]

If the Blues find a way to lose this match it will be a monumental choke.

[KiwiMurph]

Confident that Blues will find a way to lose.

[taniwharugby]

plenty of lingering scars for Blues fans...

am tempted to increase my tipping margin for the Blues.

[Tim]

Blues will really be targeting the scrum now.

[Tim]

@taniwharugby I wouldn't blame you.

[Stockcar86]

Both Falcon and McKenzie can swap between 10 and 15 positions as required during the game. Happy I chose Blues for this one

[taniwharugby]

@tim I did mean for Blues to win as well!

1-8 on one and 9 points on another...

The Steamers starting side looks better on paper than this Chiefs effort given injuries.

[Tim]

McKenzie is wearing the 10 shirt.

[Tim]

Harris in the crawling competition.

It probably didn't fit Falcon.

I wish that were penalized more.

Good try. Not sure there should have been a penalty there

[Donsteppa]

Ooooh look! Winter Olympics highlights on channel 56....

Looks like being a long night.

Cane 'swum' up the side to the back. Refs will usually ping it.

[KiwiMurph]

Okeefe all over the place already...

@nzzp

No he didn’t, they wheeled it and he joined it. Have a look.
