    Just starting the thread up. Won't be taking the Waratahs lightly after the way the Chiefs have played recently.

    The first home playoff game for the Chiefs since 2013. Yep, it's been that long.

    Unfortunately I have a family event on Saturday so can't go, and likely won't see any of the QFs that day.

    I don’t understand that post.

    @Crucial It was a tough decision, but I thought I better go to my BIL's 50th in Auckland. 😉

    I am peeved at the timing too, as it takes me out. Any of the other 3 would have worked....

    It's playoff time and I'm still not sure what McMillan thinks is our best 23.

    I'd be feeling really good if I was the Tahs.

    I'm still pleased though, as I was pretty sure we'd lose to the Canes based on how we are going, so I think we have a stronger chance against the Tahs.

    Either way, it won't matter as we won't be beating the Saders twice in a season at their home with this team.

    If you like stats, the Chiefs have never lost a playoff game at home (small sample size). Their away record is very good this year so they wouldn't be daunted with a SF in Chch.

    Looking forward to the game, and I don't trust the Tahs to go quietly!

    Law of small samples/numbers effectively means we are now fucked. I'm going to blame you too 🙂

    @gt12 I'm more comfortable playing NSW than the Hurricanes (or any NZ derby). Of course the Chiefs will need to step up their performance to win because NSW are much-improved. Let's see what team is selected.

    Chiefs co-captain Sam Cane is set to miss Saturday’s Super Rugby Pacific quarterfinal against the Waratahs, as he sits out a second week with a knee injury.
    
    The All Blacks skipper sat out much of Tuesday’s training, and while assistant coach David Hill wasn’t ruling the veteran openside flanker out, it’s understood he will indeed be sidelined for the match at FMG Stadium Waikato (4.35pm kickoff).

    @KiwiMurph That knee injury was the result of actions that should have at least been a penalty.
