So I'm an idiot. I'm heading down to Melbourne for work Monday morning. If I'd checked the schedule I would have known this game was on and could have gone down a day earlier.
Could have been a good weekend of watching as I'm going to MP v Drua this weekend.

@Bovidae said in Rebels v Chiefs:
<Groan> Again, I really have to question some of McMillan's selections.
I assume that Vaa'i will be on his AB rest.
I find it very funny how some players get a million chances (Trask) and others get hardly any.

@Yeahtheboys Wrampling Mcwhannell Dyer Norris Finau Roe Ratima and Narawa all have big upside from what I have seen. Thompson and Reihana most likely too. Chiefs are lucky to have so many who are developing like this.

Reihana had that brief cameo when Gatland went to get stitched up and made a very quick impression.
From an outside observer it does seem funny that he hasn’t had a decent chance.
Apart from that I’m ok with the team. Not our number one selection but a good team for the Rebels -
Team confirmed as above.
https://www.chiefs.co.nz/news-item/gallagher-chiefs-named-to-face-rebels-in-melbourne
Unavailable for selection:
Brodie Retallick, Laghlan McWhannell, Shaun Stevenson
Season ending: Reuben O’Neill, Simon Parker, Sione Mafileo, Anton Lienert-Brown -
And McMillan confirms there is some rotation in team selection. Retallick is back training so likely to return next weekend.
“There’s just a need to give some guys some minutes to try get our whole squad to a place where we’re fit and firing for a quarterfinal,”

“There’s just a need to give some guys some minutes to try get our whole squad to a place where we’re fit and firing for a quarterfinal,”
That logic works well for me. So many injuries creating so many chances for player development.
... Māori ... AB rest?
