Chiefs v Reds

Bovidae

At least it's an illness not an injury.

Beaver had to brave a graduation ceremony this week so how hard can a rugby match be?

Bones

Oh, so the selectors are having second thoughts at preferring Sopoaga over Cruden...

@booboo I'd suggest rejigging the back row. Boshier starts at 6 with Cane at 7 and Leitch at 8.

Boshier is a bit thin for the blinside. He is excellent outwide in support of the backs but lacks physicality in the tight. I'd rather see 6. Cane and 7. Boshier.

Crucial

I would go with DMac at 10. Bring in Stevenson, shift Pulu to 15 and Beaver to the bench.

DMac deserves a chance to run the game from 10.

Agree with @Crucial but I think Stevenson's preferred position is 15 isn't it? Could be a good chance to see what he can do there.

Fair enough. I just like Pulu's 15 play from CM but I guess Rennie will know which of the two he wants where.

EDIT: I guess some of it will also be future planning. If DMac is to be the Chiefs 10 next year and Stevenson is earmarked as the 15 that will be how they go.

Also think Pulu makes a better winger than SS.

Stargazer

Well, that's a great start of the game (not).

Chiefs should be embarrassed letting the Reds score first!

taniwharugby

wide angle looks a dead set try

Stargazer

Wow, lucky. I don't think it was a clear and obvious grounding but not complaining.

taniwharugby

@Stargazer looks clearly on the line.

Damo

Did look like a try, but I'm surprised the evidence was compelling enough to overrule the onfield decision.

taniwharugby

reckon that was out, the 9 then joined the ruck to make it not out

yeah, so it was still out because you can't make the ball be in again after it was out.

Crucial

@taniwharugby Twice Nutbrown has decided a ball sitting alone out on the field is not out. Fucking ex halfback.

taniwharugby

reds not wanting to go for 3...

Tordah

shoulder to the chin, clear yellow, Nutbrown you nutsack

taniwharugby

could be a RC on SMith

taniwharugby

or not, gotta be cited, that was brutal, Cane lucky not to be knocked out

Tim

That should be a red.
