      Chiefs have won 2 of the last 3 against the Crusaders. Clearly they are favourites.

      Chiefs by 15

          Well we are at home so naturally we should be favourites.

          A lot of Aucklanders cheering the Chiefs this weekend, I imagine.

          Be a nice one to break our duck with.

                Anyone see Sevu Reece on the news blaring on about the how the Chiefs told him he was surplus to requirements and whinging about how he always wanted to play for the Chiefs.

                Let's not forget the reason the Chiefs didn't sign him is because he smacked his Mrs up in Hamilton and nearly got a conviction.

                  @Yeetyaah Not to mention that Connacht also tore up his contract for the same reason.

                    That's factually incorrect. Connacht signed Sevu Reece on 28 May 2018 before the assault took place (1 July 2018); he must have been told by the Chiefs he wasn't wanted before he signed with Connacht. The assault can't have been the reason for the Chiefs not to sign him.

                      Saturday's match is Cruden's 100th for the Chiefs.

                        @Stargazer I'll try and find the article but I remember reading that the Chiefs specifically blacklisted Reece after the incident.

                          Was there more than one incident from the coward?

                            @Yeetyaah Maybe after Connacht ripped up his contract? Even if that's the case, that doesn't contradict them saying they weren't interested earlier in the year.

                              His history just doesn't fit with the team's identity, writes Brad Lewis.

                              As a result, the police prosecutor said Reece had already been blacklisted by the Chiefs rugby side

                                @Yeetyaah So they blacklisted him after he had already signed with Connacht, or after Connacht ripped up the contract. As I said in my previous post, that still doesn't exclude that they said Reece was surplus to requirements before he signed with Connacht.

                                Can't be bothered either way. It's history. All that matters is that he doesn't do it again.

                                    @African-Monkey Actually, I wasn't wrong at all. For the third time, the Chiefs may have told Reece he was surplus to requirements before he signed with Connacht and blacklisted him after the assault (after Connacht ripped up his contract, or not). One doesn't contradict the other.

                                      The Fijian winger has turned Crusaders Super Rugby success into an All Blacks jersey.

                                      Article on what was reported on before.

                                        There was another factor too. For some bizarre reason the Chiefs signed Ataata Moeakiola so there wasn't a place for Reece in the squad.

                                            Oh well, whatever the reason I would like to thank Colin Cooper for overlooking Reece. The Chiefs' loss has certainly been our gain.

                                                            Parker is a very promising player and would have been at short odds to be the NZ U20 no.8 this year. He's a big unit for a loosie too.

Head Coach Scott Robertson has named his side for the Round 8 match against the Chiefs, and Whitelock, now in his 11th Super Rugby season, has also been named Vice-Captain for his milestone match.

Joe Moody will not travel to Hamilton with the side due to a family bereavement.

Fetuli Paea will once again line up in the midfield alongside Jack Goodhue, with Braydon Ennor still recovering from the toe injury he sustained in the Blues game.

                                                                              I was kinda hoping they would roll out a micky mouse side for us.

                                                                              Other than Moody isn't that the team that lost to the Canes? But of course with Hall dropped to the bench because he was the problem.

                                                                              Yeah but we suck hard at the moment! I can see us playing well next season when Gatland pokes on off for the year
