SRA Round 9: Chiefs v Hurricanes
-
@yeetyaah Three Magpies, it's a miracle! Only made possible by moving IWL to the bench of course, to fit Blackwell back in to the starting XV. If Ardie had been fit, Flanders would have been moved to the bench, too, obviously.
Anyway, good to see Rayasi and PU-J getting a start.

Chiefs stopped the Saders getting any decent ball to the wing. As Jules is just a finisher these days he is redundant. Goosen is just a slightly better version.
Any injuries in the backs are going to weaken this side heaps. Worst possible is Jordie breaking.

@yeetyaah apart from Blackwell I’m really liking that Hurricanes team. Best side we’ve put out so far this year. (Apart from obviously not having Ardie there)
Hope they let Love play more in this game aswell.
Picking our boys to knock the Chiefs over in a tight one.

@mn5 haha so true.
In a post which will surprise no one I haven’t watched a lot of Canes games so find it hard to comment......but what does this guy offer when any number of recent Welsh backs are taller than him ?

I hope Luke's concussion isn't major.
He has recurring issues, doesn't he?
In the past, yes. Jacobson played all of the NPC last season and all the Chiefs games this year without any problems. The head knock may have happened at training. Hopefully, just precautionary.

And then I read this article.
“He woke up on Sunday and felt a little bit dusty, so straight away, we ruled him out for the week.” McMillan said there was no major concern for Jacobson – “he’s looking as bright as anything” – and the 24-year-old was close to being rested after playing 80 minutes in all six of the Chiefs’ matches this year. “This little setback is timely, I think, because we probably would have considered giving him some time out either this week or next,” McMillan said. -
I woke up Sunday dusty too, and I still had to go to work Monday...

@canes4life Only because we know what Holland and his selections are like..
