Highlanders vs Chiefs

[cgrant]

I would have liked to see Paripari Parkinson on the bench. He was impressive vs the French Barbarians. He should be fielded against more serious opposition (i.e The Chiefs) to test his qualities.

@talisker yeah Pryor has been injured (although played recently) and has also signed to Sanix BLues in Japan.

Alaimalo in!!

Player intro says Alaimalo is 196 cm tall, another giraffe!

Didn’t realize he was so tall.

[gt12]

ALB with a great little offload there.

I have to admit, if they can use him like that, Alaimalo will be very useful at 15. Just need to get Stevenson at 14.

Highlanders look like they’re still in NZ.

Chiefs in - very patient.

[taniwharugby]

@gt12 yep every bit of it!

[gt12]

Fuck me, Ngatai takes 60 using the wind.

[taniwharugby]

who's 'home' game is it?

Highlanders look asleep

@taniwharugby

I fucked up my tipping because I forgot this game was in Fiji!

Chiefs in again...

Jacobsen looks pretty good so far. It’s all Chiefs though, so that’s not surprising I guess.

What’s this wind worth?

TJ about Tu'inukuafe: "Rumour is that he might be heading south next year".

Where?????? There are three franchise south of the Chiefs. Which team needs a LH? Crusaders lose Crockzilla, what about the Canes and Landers?

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer so the rumour of the CHiefs roster being full obviously didnt include Tu'inukuafe

[gt12]

That’s super harsh on Cane.

That’s a worry. He looks WC - hope Hames is coming back.

By the way, south could also be Canes...

[Machpants]

@stargazer crockers is retiring

[Stargazer]

@gt12 That's what I said.

Highlanders on holiday. Shit house defence, players all over the show.

Mauger sounds like he's reading from a rugby buzzwords sheet.
