Drua vs Chiefs

I'd like a loose forward combo with 6.Finau - 7. L. Jacobson - 8. Sowakula.

That could go very well against the Drua. Probably not a combo for other games but I like it.

The other consideration is that BBBR is unlikely to play big minutes (or maybe even start) and with Lord not available (I think) we will be relying on Vaa'i to play 80 unless Finau can shift later in the game. Maybe K.Bosh on the bench allows a back three reshuffle late and some fresh legs for turnovers.

Don't forget Ah Kuoi who should be in the mix if he is fit.

I wasn't too far off with my team prediction based on who is still unavailable. Finau rewarded with another start after a strong game last round. That's probably the first-choice forward pack with Cane to come back for Finau. Some good impact in the backs off the bench.

Good to see Retallick carrying.

Ah classic 2022 Chiefs. Hot on attack ruined by a stupid infringement.

Great line from Gus

Ross needs to be in black this year.

Commentor calling the Chiefs "Waikato." My brother in Christ they dropped Waikato from the name in 1998.

Red card for the shoulder to the head of Gatland on the ground?

Australians get very confused about this, they often call the Drua Fiji, too

Start at halfway with a PK.

That was some exciting attack. Pity he dropped it
