          I don't think the game has been officially announced yet. But it's on the Blues youtube channel

          It's happening because the Moana Pasifika can't play their scheduled pre-season match because of covid (v Highlanders)

            “At this stage, whilst not confirmed, there is a distinct possibility that Moana Pasifika may not be able to participate in the final weekend of the pre-season, and we’ll adjust the schedule for that weekend if that’s the scenario we have to work with.”

            Lendrum confirmed if Moana Pasifika were unable to front this weekend, it’s likely a game of three halves would be added to allow all five remaining available teams to have some sort of a hitout.

              Yeah, that's the report from yesterday. The stream is now scheduled on all 3 youtube channels. So I guess that's confirmation that MP can't play this weekend

                  It just appears in the video list.

                  However it appears all the streams just got set to private. I guess they’ll be visible again tomorrow

                        I don't think you can read anything into the Chiefs team named. Good to see Moli listed but two other props still missing.

                            He would be the next in line at TH if injuries occur. Moli may be used at LH based on the other props in the reserves. Not sure where Ross and O'Neill are.

                                Looks like Fetuli Paea's injury wasn't that bad.

                                    @duluth It seems they have borrowed Solomone Tukuafu from the Chiefs WTG for this game. I will be interested in how Langi goes. I have never seen him play before.

                                      In general (certainly Highlanders apart) there is a lot of use of WTG front rowers.

                                      Is this because they don't need match fitness or they take longer to get ready?

                                        Plumtree, RTS & Suafoa the players getting both halves in the same position

                                        RTS needs time

                                        Suafoa - is Robinsons injury going to keep him out for a while? Plus Ioane will be on limited minutes

                                        Plumtree being developed as an allrounder loosie for the bench? 7 this week, 8 last week & we know he can play 6

                                          @Crucial It might just be who is available, for the props especially.

                                          It does seem strange that the Chiefs have 4 WTG players starting against the Highlanders, as I doubt any will start the following week.

                                            @bovidae just wonder if Dyer or Mitch J are being considered for the 23 perhaps as injury cover? Will Sam Cane start?

                                              @arhs Boshier is meant to be Cane's backup so I would have thought he would be starting, or used off the bench in the 23 (if Luke Jacobson isn't playing).

                                                                                Yeah that was great hands, and then line in for the try. Renton (I think, 8 ) attempt at clean out which resulted in a chiefs turnover was laughably bad though

                                                                                  The Chiefs scrum and lineout looked good.

                                                                                  Anyone know how to get rid of those annoying comments on the stream? I looked in the settings.
