Chiefs v Highlanders
-
The Chiefs’ home game against the Highlanders remains scheduled for a 7.05pm kickoff on Friday night, although a move to Sunday was also considered. However, there is no such luck for Chiefs fans, who will have to tune in from afar as their team hits the paddock after a round one bye.

@yeetyaah come on man, you can do better than that

@kiwiwomble haha just following the trend of the other game from this rounds that was already made. Blame @Duluth if anyone 😂
-
Teams are enough I think. Pretty sure everyone knows what the current year is
-
@duluth yes...because forgetting the year was the reason
-
Chiefs $1.61
Highlanders $2.23 -
@tim seems about right, did little last week and Gatland's wearing the other jersey now...
-
@kiwiwomble Ah I dunno, obviously back my team but after the last couple of years I'm trying not to get my hopes up.
-
@yeetyaah so, last year we only one the first game due to a droppie by someone playing for you now and the second in the final play of the game thanks to a sio try
...sio well over due for a card and gatland playing for you...you the fav mate

Hahaha, nice try bro.
Also Sio being carded is just the normal way things work, I'd assume every Highlanders game plan factors that in.
I'm not sure Gatland playing for us is a positive.
-
@nepia just plan for him to be absent in general i think, either carded or just no effect on the game.....
will Gatland start? all jokes aside he was a much better player last year than when i first saw him for the Landers against the Rebels a few years ago, think Brownie has had an influence

@tim well I'm sure they won't mind a helping of Brown sauce to go with those chips.
-
@bones thats good from you

Of course, when the same fixture comes around next year... the thread gets recycled?
To be honest, I kinda like that idea - every year you'd be reminded of what happened last time. -

We'd be so woke - reusing is so 2021

Yeah, I received an email earlier today. 700 tickets are available.
-
@bovidae fuuuuck. Probably the only time being a member has a decent benefit.
-
We get a discount on our ticket prices and official merchandise, and priority purchase rights to All Blacks tests.
Members also get to choose their allocated seats every season. This year the seats will have our names on them in case we get lost.
Anyway, I've registered so fingers crossed.
-
@bovidae yeah all stuff I don't mind missing out on, always wanted to go to an AB's game but I'm too much of a tight ass to spend $100 on the cheapest tickets.
-
there it is, Fakatava starting
interesting Hunt back to 15 so quickly, not mad as he played well there last year, i imagine we'll see a hunt to 10 and Alaimalo to 15 in the second half
-
Disappointed to see Hunt at fullback. I thought perhaps it might be a shitty forecast for Friday and the Highlanders were expecting a kicking game, but the weather looks good.
Still would like to see TUJ get a run, but sounds like he had a good Christmas.
Excited to see Fakatava start, certainly shows we are doing everything we can to keep him in blue and gold.
-
@southernmann agreed, i'd like to see TUG replace Sio
-
I hope Alaimalo plays like shit
-
@yeetyaah fresh legs late in the game with something to prove?...length of the field intercept try to win it
-
@kiwiwomble bahaha fuck I'll be salty
-
@kiwiwomble Just as likely to come on and get injured.

Wow, didn't see that coming. Well, not so soon, anyway! Can't wait to see how he goes!
-
Stories come out in the press of teams chasing Fakatava - nek minnit - he's starting!
(and yes I know Tony Brown has talked at length about giving him more opportunities this year)

Yeah a nice carrot.
Also it is only the 0-8 Chiefs :p

Didn’t Smith just talk about an agreement to manage his workload?
If they are going to do that then they need to get the next halfback going don’t they?
-
@crucial yeah my comment was in jest.
-
Here's hoping Weber starts for the Chiefs. Nice little battle between two Magpies halfbacks within the bigger battle between the Chiefs and Landers.

Nah Caleb Clarke isn't playing.
