Blues/Chiefs/Highlanders game of 3 halves

12/02/22 at midday

@duluth i had completely missed this was happening, who is playing which "halves"?
-
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
-
@duluth i dont spend i lot of time on youtube, how does one see what is scheduled on say the Highlanders youtube channel?
-
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

The stream seems to have moved here -
Kick-off 12pm –
Half 1 - Gallagher Chiefs vs Highlanders
Half 2 - Gallagher Chiefs vs Blues
Half 3 - Blues vs Highlanders
-
I don't think you can read anything into the Chiefs team named. Good to see Moli listed but two other props still missing.
-
@bovidae Be interesting to see if Dyer gets much game time.

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.

Highlanders Team 1: Daniel Lienert-Brown, Liam Coltman, Josh Hohneck, Manaaki Selby-Rickit, Josh Dickson, Shannon Frizell, Gareth Evans, Hugh Renton, Aaron Smith (captain), Mitch Hunt, Rory Van Vugt, Scott Gregory, Fetuli Paea, Moses Dawai, Sam Gilbert.
Highlanders Team 2: Ethan de Groot, Andrew Makalio, Jermaine Ainsley, Bryn Evans, Manaaki Selby-Rickit, Max Hicks, Sean Withy, Marino Mikaele-Tu’u, Folau Fakatava, Marty Banks, Scott Gregory, Thomas Umaga-Jensen, Josh Timu, Vereniki Tikoisolomone, Vilimoni Koroi. Reserves: Luca Inch, Rhys Marshall, Saula Mau, Kayne Hammington.
-
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).
-
Just clicked it’s not actually available to stream outside nz
-
Any one got a working link?
-
-
@daffy-jaffy thank you
-
It's everyone eyes feed really choppy? Low bit rate
-
@machpants Frame rate of stream is wrong. 30 fps instead of 25 fps, so frames are being repeated.

Still looks crap on my iPad pro, which has VRR.
-
@machpants The problem is at YouTube's end. It's not doing the usual telecine process, and is randomly repeating frames.

Ok, don't know about that techy area, bloody annoying!
-
Lots of movement, good too watch. All Highlanders but no points edit no points to Highlanders, that is. Chiefs got a try I missed. Scott Gregory looking sharp in midfield

Basically playing their first team against Chiefs WTG.

Chiefs prop 24 looks WTG size, old school shape!
-
@machpants Mafileo? He is a big unit.

He's got quality moobs, whoever he is. Commentator is such and improvement over Laban etc, who is it?
-
Gregory has looked sharp in this game.
-
@dice Pick of the Highlanders.

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
-
Gatland didn't do his chances any good. His wide passes looked like an intercept waiting to happen and a poor missed touch at the end.
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.
-
Gregory made lots of inroads that resulted in lost ball. Connections not quite there?
