    Ah, yes! From a completely one-eyed Magpies perspective, I'm very happy to see Weber and Falcon as the starting halves-combo! The more they play together, the better!

    This is a very lightweight forward pack. I guess the Chiefs will try to play the game at a high pace to disrupt the big Bulls front five.

    Needs must.

    Fuck, that bench is scraping around. Here's hoping there are no early injuries.

    Why the hell is Mitchell Brown starting over Allardice? You have a lock in the squad you play him.

    I would hope Cooper understood the need for a good 10 after his years with the Canes... most important position in the backline.

    A little bit tongue-in-cheek though, that injury list is farking brutal.

    That does seem a strange selection but the coaches must like Brown's workrate around the field. He played at lock in the QF vs the Stormers last year.

    I'm interested to know what the situation is with Toni Pulu and Levi Aumua. Neither are listed as unavailable for selection, but both are yet to be sighted. There can't be many Naki players left to pick. 🙂

    @Bovidae the article says they're not quite ready, so I assume they'll be back next week.

    Shame that.

    Don't think DMac at 10 is an experiment as much as Falcon at 10 is.

    Will be interested in how the younfmg fulla steps up. No pressure Tiaan.

    I think it’s a balance thing and beat possible is Falcon at 10/DMac at 15
    This has to be preferable to DMac at 10 and ‘has this person ever played at fullback before?’
    DMac will also have the responsibility to take control when he feels the need and I think we will see a fair bit of swapping around

    @crucial that Alaimalo fella would probably go alright at FB...finding a competent winger would be easier than a FB or 10?

    @booboo didn't Falcon already play 10 in the Blues game?

    @kiwimurph Yes. He wore Stevenson's 15 jersey, but played at 10 and Dmac was moved to fullback.

    I think they are rewarding the backline that played against the Blues. As in that game, DMac and Falcon will alternate as DMac spent a lot of time at first receiver.

    The article has been updated as neither were mentioned in the original article, hence my query.

    Bulls up by 7 thanks to a good try. Chiefs a bit lost on defense in the midfield.
