Chiefs v Blues

Some good changes in there. Didn't know Tana had it in him to drop Tupou.
I think the only change I would've made was Mark Telea in for Leger. Leger's tackling is Nock level bad, and the last thing we need at the moment is another guy who can't tackle. Maybe if Duffie is good to go, Hyland will replace Leger on the bench?

People were wondering about the late change at halfback last week? No reason apparently, just the usual muddled thinking.
This was in a nzh article:But perhaps the most significant change is the selection of Jonathan Ruru to start at halfback. He was picked in that role last week, but coach Tana Umaga had a change of heart as kick-off approaches and returned Sam Nock to the No 9 jersey, injecting Ruru from the bench.

Good grief.
