Chiefs v Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

Big game for Devery. Still a rookie and only his 2nd start. From MP to Chiefs is a big step up.

@Stargazer huge game, especially against the best hooker in the comp. Good for Devery's growth as it's highly likely he'll be promoted to no2 rake next year.

The starting XV is pretty sound, it's more the bench I'm worried about. Guys like Faiva, Tosi and Hohepa have a real NPC look about them.

Jeez that’s a lot of talent unavailable

A lot of that lot is self inflicted though, right?

[Canes4life]

@Nepia yeah over half unfortunately.

Hoped to see Laghlan Mcwhannell this match.

FYI, he is playing club rugby tomorrow.

Vaa'i still needs his week off, and if Lord is unavailable you would expect McWhannell to be in the 23 for at least one of the remaining RR games.

Sangster and Delany get a decent run off the bench, but we know Holland will take off IWL and Flanders, instead of Iose and Blackwell, as he always subs off his biggest forwards.

@Bovidae. Great. Thanks

Or Gibbes. He must be involved too. But they might surprise us this game. I hope so. Otherwise we could be looking at a big loss

Jesus, I can't unsee those man boobs doing a pre-game haka. Horrific.

[Duluth]

Shitty weather should favour the Chiefs

[Machpants]

When UJ kicks it certainly will, ffs

Frank's?

[Machpants]

Too easy

[Mattasaurus]

great options with ball in hand, lovely to watch.

[Crazy Horse]

@Machpants no. One of the 'cultural' (or whatever the're called) chaps.

How was that knock on? Morgan needs to be ten, he's head down in rucks far too often

[Bones]

Knocked it so far forward it travelled around the globe and the guy behind him picked it up. Great refereeing

[Jailbreak7]

How good is this Chiefs team....we will find out over the next few weeks I guess

Morgan has Nareki disease - spends too much time doing pointless ruck inspecting.

PGS nickname must be Methuselah, he looks 50
