it's got to the point now where i can't see how we win. What advantage do we have that we can exploit?

The Kirwan/Umaga years have made me an expert at clutching at straws
Chiefs losing margins in this comp:
1, 12, 5, 7, 2, 4, 13One moment of cheese and you get one more try
One more try and it would've been 4 wins, 2 losses and a game taken to extra time

I'm with you on that one, but they didn't get the cheese - 7 times in a fucking row. That might signify a problem, just like it did for us.

Yeah, there's definitely loser and whiner mentalities that have taken hold in the Chiefs. Wouldn't want that to contaminate the All Blacks squad.

oh shit mother fucker, it's on now
you Blues boys have been up and about for 5 fucking minutes and you think you can erase the better part of a decade and a half of mediocrity, finger-pointing, and whinging?
I do not think so sir!
-
@mariner4life It's been most concerning seeing this change in Anton Lienert-Brown, the excuses coinciding with his plunge in form. Probably been spending too much time with Brad Weber.

To be fair to Anton, how can you know where to stand and when to run with Helen Keller lobbing the ball from rucks?
-
@antipodean and a gameplan orchestrated by Nickelback!

-
I thought Van Wyk had left same time as Lam?
-
@KiwiMurph No. I think only the guys who've signed with French clubs have left NZ.
-
Three Magpies! None in the starting lineup, but still ... 3!
-
@Nepia They still have to get off that bench ..
-
Interestingly Fidow gets dropped for Rakete Stones. I thought Fidow has been impressive off the bench, I don't think RS provides that same impact. Also IWL makes way for Le'aupepe. The fact that IWL has been out of favour lately makes me think he's on the move next year.

I'm hoping they don't so I don't get mixed emotions.
-
@Nepia You're missing May, he's starting.
-
@Canes4life Not sure IWL has been dropped. He withdrew from the Crusaders game with an injury, so maybe he hasn't recovered yet.
Edited to add that PRS adds more power to the scrum than Fidow. Having watched the Chiefs' scrum crumble against the Crusaders, that may be what they're targeting. Just guessing, of course.
-
Ben May is 'Naki man now.
-
@Canes4life said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:

Not missed at all.
-
Good to see Kane Le'aupepe recover from injury.
-
@Tim Yes, that has been a long road back from injury.
-
@Stargazer yeah that might be true.
-
@Number-10 missed this one, he gets around haha.
-
Who’s that guy in 23 Lowe is it? Is he new 😂😂😂

Chiefs: Damian McKenzie, Shaun Stevenson, Anton Lienert-Brown, Alex Nankivell, Sean Wainui, Kaleb Trask, Brad Weber, Pita Gus Sowakula, Sam Cane (c), Luke Jacobson, Mitchell Brown, Naitoa Ah Kuoi, Nepo Laulala, Samisoni Taukei’aho, Ollie Norris.
Reserves: Bradley Slater, Rob Cobb, Angus Ta’avao, Tupou Vaa’i, Mitchell Karpik, Lisati Milo-Harris, Quinn Tupaea, Kini Naholo. -
Looking forward to seeing him play again. As I have no provincial bias I reckon he might be better than Paps.
-
Not surprised to see Boshier dropped.
-
@Toddy nice bait
-
Naholo and Cobb to potentially debut from the bench. Chiefs fans need a song for Kini.
-
If we win this, all off-season I will be saying "we could have won the damn thing if Jacobsen wasn't injured..."
