        @stargazer Well the Chiefs will be feeling they won't set a new losing streak record, Ledger or a baby at 10

            Thankfully I now live in Blues Territory so at least my second team is not a pile o poo this year!

                  Two good matches the WE. In that the winner is not (almost) known in advance. The only question is by how much

                  Yes this match is the cripple fight. But still could be a good match. As the warm up to the main event. I look forward to the Canes naming their team. I'm sure the first names selected will be Blackwell and Prinsep. And the team won't make the sensible decision and start Barrett at 10. But who knows. I might be pleasantly surprised.

                    I think we'll get within 13 but will lose. We're pretty fucking shit right now.

                        Nah I'd love to but got a birthday party to go to. Sunday's crap too, I want Saturday night so I've got an excuse for hotel and over night in Auckland!

                          I've got a real bad feeling the Canes are going to let the majority of the country down and lose to the Chiefs before the Chiefs manage to create a record super losing streak.

                            I hope the Chiefs get up and win this, for the sake of the competition.
                            It's not cool having a whipping boy when there are only 5 teams in the comp.

                              That Ruben Love comes across as a kid with a future. Really seems to have smarts and his head screwed on going by his appearance on Breakdown last night.
                              He mentioned that he has been training solely as a fullback but surely he is also an option at 10?

                                        Which is stupid because he played the whole club rugby season at 10, maybe they have him at 15 to try and give him more time.

                                          I'd expect Lowe and ALB to start. I'd still be fine with McKenzie at 10 and Stevenson at 15 but idk there's a hard on for Gatland.

                                            @yeetyaah They might do to Lowe what they did to Falcon, last year. Make him play for BOP for the Chiefs Centurion Cup. 😡

                                                Hurricanes:
                                                1 Xavier Numia, 2. Ricky Riccitelli, 3 . Tyrel Lomax, 4. James Blackwell, 5. Isaiah Walker-Leawere, 6. Reed Prinsep, 7. Du’Plessis Kirifi, 8. Ardie Savea (c), 9. Luke Campbell, 10 . Orbyn Leger, 11. Salesi Rayasi, 12. Ngani Laumape, 13. Billy Proctor, 14. Julian Savea, 15. Jordie Barrett

                                                Reserves: 16. James O’Reilly, 17. Fraser Armstrong, 18. Tevita Mafileo, 19. Liam Mitchell, 20. Devan Flanders, 21. Jonathan Taumateine, 22. Peter Umaga-Jensen, 23. Wes Goosen.

                                                What a shit selection.

                                                For who prefers pictures:

                                                  @stargazer I'll repeat what I said earlier based on these selections, if the Chiefs are going to get a win it will be this game.

                                                    The positives of that Canes' line-up: Numia starting ahead of Armstrong, Campbell ahead of Taumateine.

                                                    The negatives: many, but particularly not starting Flanders, Leger at 10, PU-J on the bench and starting Proctor; O'Reilly on the bench instead of Thompson. Visinia should have been in the 23 instead of either the Bus or Goosen. Still no Toala. Grrrrrrrrrr

                                                      @stargazer Ledger really? Glad Rayasi gets a start but seems to be pick the same old with Prinseep, Blackwell and Proctor.
                                                      I kinda wish and I know this is blasphemy but I want Jordie to go off with a very very minor injury so he can’t kick or cover 10 and watch the coaches squirm.

                                                        @stargazer That backline looks like it would not pose much of a threat to most NPC backlines, numbers 11 and 15 excepted.

Visinia should have been in the 23 instead of either the Bus or Goosen. Still no Toala. Grrrrrrrrrr

                                                                You could probably add Gareth Evans to your list of angsts as well. Would R Prinsep even make the HB contracted players list let alone the matchday 23 given we have some big huas in the team that are not often seen on the pitch?

If Evans is fit, I'd prefer: a backrow of Evans, Ardie and Flanders, with Kirifi on the bench. I guess we'll have to wait and see who are playing for the Hunters on Saturday.

Come to think about it you could almost say the same about the Hurricanes but their inability to select appropriately is so ingrained in them that it will take a miracle for that to change.
