      Ioane may be starting judging by the Chiefs SM.

          Only speculation on my behalf, but I think he is due a start at 1st 5. I wouldn't want Ioane at 2nd 5 or fullback. No need to also have Gatland and Trask in the 23.

            An ideal Hurricanes team to face Chiefs (which wouldn't ever happen under Holland):

            1. Numia

            2. Aumua

            3. Lomax

            4. Scrafton

            5. Sangster

            6. Delany

            7. Savea

            8. Flanders

            9. Booth

            10. Love

            11. Rayasi

            12. Umaga-Jensen

            13. Sullivan

            14. Goosen

            15. Barrett

            16. No idea, Coles back soon?

            17. Fidow

            18. Rakete-Stones

            19. Walker-Leawere

            20. Iose

            21. Roigard

            22. Morgan

            23. Moorby

              @kiwi_expat It’s tough but I’d have Delany off the bench and Flanders,Savea, Iose and have Howden off the bench. Also start Rakete-Stones over Numia.

                @mikey07 Delany would add size & height to a relatively small Hurricanes backrow (and forward pack overall), much needed if they're to challenge Chiefs who I fear might bully them upfront. Sangster, Scrafton and Flanders are the other bigger & highly physical players who ideally need to start in the pack as well. But we know that Holland will probably select his smaller 'work-rate' entourage in Kirifi, Princep & Blackwell.

                  @kiwi_expat I like your team but I would have Rakete-Stones starting over Numia, I would have Mafileo on the bench instead of Fidow and I would potentially start Roigard.

                      I would have thought that Nanks' form would see him start in the midfield with Tupaea off the bench. Though I'd rather the current lineup than have Tiatia start.

                        A better balanced loose forward trio this week. No mention of Lord being unavailable so maybe some rotation amongst the locks. I assume that Norris is getting a rest. I'll be interested to see how Moli goes as he has looked underdone so far.

                          I like the mix in an attacking sense. While not a traditional winger or even a fullback/winger, Nankivell is quite effective with a roaming licence.

                          I'm a little worried about kick receipt positioning and high takes with that back three.

                            Would prefer to see Stevenson and his boot in the back 3, and McWhannell ahead of Ah Kuoi. But, it is what it is with the uavailabilities. Hoping to see Wrampling on the wing sooner rather than later.

                                    O'Reilly at 16 🤮 and damn, of course, Billy Proctor starting at 13, and Sullivan on the bench. And Savea at 14. Geez.

                                    That backrow is piss poor, too.

                                              Nothing like rewarding mediocrity starting Prinseep and starting JGB the only thing I like about this team is to see how Jordie goes at 12 other then that we were right about PUJ.

                                                    I always smile when I see JGB starting in the opposition.

                                                      The Cnaes use to have great backs. Now it all look a bit OKish overall.

                                                      But anyway thats life. I hope Barrett looks the goods at 2nd 5. And love at FB. And surely Perenara can't be worse than last week. JGB is worse now than he was before the operation.. Maybe they shoudl persist with Love but still a way to go. Proctor is mr ordinary in the same mold as Prinsep and Blackwell.

                                                      Shame the B team was so crap last week.

                                                      Chiefs should have an easy enough win.

                                                        If I were the Chiefs, I'd target Ruben Love at the back all night. A real weakness at the back now, just waiting to be exploited.

                                                            I have both Peter Umaga-Jensen (drafted him in mostly for Moana Pasifika) and Bailyn Sullivan in my fantasy team, thinking there was no way Holland could leave out both of them. But as always, with Holland, you can't leave in too many good performers from the last game.

                                                                              Totally agree supposed to be gelling combinations not swapping everyone I understand giving everyone game time BUT not a new team every week.Maybe he knows he can’t get fired so just doing what he wants.

                                                                                  How the hell are players meant to get any momentum in their game when they don't know where they stand. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a mass exodus at the end of the year, surely the players are sick of the inconsistency in selections. I certainly would be if I was Flanders, PUJ, Rayasi etc.
