<p><strong>So the Japanese prop finally dropped?</strong></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Donald dropped too? I thought he played really well last week?</p>
</div>

<p>The Japanese prop has actually been in the team on merit for a few games now.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rennie didn't wait long to rush Messam back into the team - although I expect he's been doing a bit of training with them!</p> -

<p>Donald went off in Suva with a hamstring twinge so might not be 100%. He would have only been on the bench.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Only in the last week I think but Rennie indicated earlier in the week he would be in the 23. Messam has played for Hautapu in the last 2 weekends but hasn't played a full 80 mins yet.</p>

<p>That's an interesting loose forward mix for the Chiefs - Cane at 8 and two loose forwards on the bench. Who is covering lock? </p>
</div>
</blockquote>
<p> </p>
<p>Brown I would think but Sanders could be an option too. I will have to go to a practice to see if Tucker is fit. Nothing has been said about his unavailability for the last 3 games.</p> -
<p>The Chiefs can bank this as a win. The only considerations will be bonus point and injuries.</p>
-
<p>nah, the Reds are always a challenge for us, especially in Brisbane. Reds weren't complete rubbish last week either. </p>

<p>This. The Chiefs have had some good wins in Brisbane but also some terrible loses. IIRC in the last game there the Chiefs got penalised a lot in the scrum.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Good to read we're taking our own ref (Briant) with us. ;)</p> -

<p>They were well beaten by the Brumbies.</p> -
<p>yes, but they weren't terrible, they were in the game for a long while.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I expect us to win, and if i was still tipping it would be a big margin, but i don't think it is a given, and i wouldn't consider it a shock if we got tipped over</p> -
The Reds drew to the Blues and beat the Landers in Brisbane. Chiefs red hot favourites but they still have to turn up.
-
<p>Good to see Cane in starting lineup 2 weeks in a row for the Chiefs</p>

<p>On the news, Rennie said that Messam told him he can cover centre if they need him to. :lol:</p>

<p>These jokes never get old.</p> -
Time for the Chiefs to pick up where the Blues left off.
-
Good start lol
-
Clinical

Great call.... they should all be policing that
-
Another cracker for the Chiefs. Great hands and decisions
