Some photos from Chiefs training show Weber, Gatland, Ta'avao, Tupaea, and Nankivell and Cane in the background. So I assume all of those players will be involved.
-
solid chance this will be Kahui's final game in the Tron🥺

Some homecoming tackles headed the way of Pulu and Kahui.

he's damn lucky to be playing! Good lawyers
-
Unavailable for selection:
Reuben O’Neill, Gideon Wrampling, Simon Parker, Brodie Retallick, Josh Ioane, Sione Mafileo, Laghlan McWhannell, Anton Lienert-Brown, Shaun Stevenson, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Ollie Norris, Atu Moli, Jonah Lowe -
Still no BBBR. Must be covid this time around as I thought he was fixed up.
-
Bartlett is in the Chiefs U20s. If they needed a more experienced LH I thought Cobb would be the logical choice.
Also, another game with only 2 back reserves.
-
Pleased for Josh but surprised at such rapid elevation.
-
@ARHS All franchises (except the Blues?) have given an U20 player game time. In most cases (the Hurricanes being the exception) that was due to high number of players being unavailable. Highlanders: Fabian Holland; Crusaders: George Bell (scored a try on debut); Hurricanes: Riley Higgins (scored a yellow card on debut).

Has he even played for BOP yet? It will be a big step up from club rugby/U20s, particularly for a prop at scrumtime.
@Stargazer Tuputupu also played for the Canes.

Ah, yes, totally forgot about him! That was definitely a case of other (about 7 or 8 ) hookers being unavailable!

Yes, against Tasman last year
-
Ah, OK. That was the game in which both teams rested a lot of their top players.
-
A few changes to the Chiefs' line-up:
-
Chiefs are looking pretty average
After an awesome kick Chase fucks a certain try by being greedy
-
How can TJ, who’s paid plenty of money to be an expert, not understand when a deliberate knock down is a YC?
His incompetence is then repeated by fans
-
That second one looked like a YC. Ref didn't even notice it??
-
Bombed that one Tiatia!
-
@Duluth
And Justin Marshall -
Fucking hell Tiatia, I had just starting coming around to having you in the team.
-
I think this is going to get ugly for the Force.
-
Byron road bump Ralston
-
That was a nice line, he had some work to do.

Refs hardly ever give YCs for deliberate knock downs for the last two years now.
-
Cane looks bad

Cane looks bad
He has had a lot of bad luck with injuries. I hope this isn't too serious. Looks bad but at least he's up now.

And off, ACL, MCL?
-
Jesus the kicking is shit in this game
-
Canes injury was from an illegal entry and a lower limb clean out (new law clampdown). Silence from the refs.
-
@Machpants cheap shots at the knees like that should be red carded and thrown the book at. The Force player literally entered from Chiefs side of the ruck and ol ref missed it

That's what I thought too, but is it only lifting?
Edit "‘A player may lever the jackler out of the contest at the ruck but must not drop their weight onto them or target the lower limbs."

Yeah, certainly a penalty if nothing else

Two penalties
-
Nice work by Quinn! Second time he's manhandled their 14
-
Force dodge a YC for yet another swat (trailing hand knock on)
-
@Machpants said in Chiefs v Force:

The Force are a bit shit. However, that power was pretty nice.
-
Geez that's a limp looking crowd.
-
Great come back by the force, too easy. Chiefs lose as on kick receipt
