<p>which is why he has been training to be able to cover TH I expect?</p>
-
<p>convenient that their versatility was exposed 4 weeks ago and they have worked hard with a player to ensure it doesn't happen again?</p>

<p>Did Rennie ever say he hadn't played tighthead? He just said he wasn't good enough as a tighthead didn't he? I'm assuming the Highlanders were following the same storyline when they pulled the same trick on their home ground but weren't forced to drop a player out of the team. ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: Ploughboy beat me to it.</p> -
<p>well we get told that ITM Cup is so far from the quality of Super rugby that playing TH in that comp probably means little?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At any rate, they obviously felt he wasn't up to it, which is why they have been working to make him better</p> -

<p>you don't have to, SANZAR are the ones the Chiefs had to convince, and they obviously did.</p> -

<p>And risk conceding a penalty for each collapsed scrum. Fisi'ihoi was struggling in practice against the Chiefs LHs, and most people know the Chiefs' scrum hasn't been that good this season.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Perhaps they don't rate the Rebels scrum/reserve props as highly.</p> -

Probably more a case of not wanting to look too deeply in case they opened a Pandora's box! -

<p>just like josh honeck with the highlanders earlier in the season. went to golden oldie scrums because he was not a loosehead but he has started last two games there</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Exactly! If you want to point the finger at Rennie and the Chiefs, the same applies to Joseph and the Highlanders.</p>
