Chiefs vs Highlanders
-
Moli hasn't found his mark at loose head. He struggled vs Tupou in the warm up game against the Red. His confrontation with Lomax is an interesting one. I don't know much about Johnstone but this will be a hard introduction to Super Rugby for him against Angus TM. Retallick vs Parkinson is another great feature. This will be a big test for the young Ta$man lock.

with Debreczeni also injured, Cooper was saying all things going well, Donald would be nowhere near the 23 this week given he only joined them this week...but he said the young guys are all responding well to his voice at training....

@mariner4life FYI, Super rugby, right back to 1997 has started in Feb every year....in 2007 it we'd be into week 2
really? fuck. well, there you go.
Doesn't change the fact that it is stupidly early for a football code to start. There should still be test match cricket on.
I always remember the post @Dodge made about the footy season starting in England where he found it a little depressing as it meant Summer was about to end.
That kind of struck a chord with me.
I am liking my cricket too much to care about the Chiefs at the moment. I can honestly say that if I was given a free ticket to this weekends game (are we even at home, I am thinking so purely because of thread title) that I would turn it down.
I don't watch cricket and it seems a bit early for me even - but I know I'll probably watch at least two games this weekend and if our free tickets pan out I'll venture over to Brookvale to watch the Canes v Tahs.
Funny, I'm the reverse of most of you. I have hardly watched any Super rugby over the past 5 ears, less and less every year. But this year I'm really excited to get back into it, probably because its a RWC year I think.
I'll be watching the Chiefs recorded tonight, then will also be at Brooky tmrw night to watch the mighty Canes get off to the right start

@Duluth he has taken time to develop all round game. Was prospect out of Kings College but maybe not game management aspects which let him down. I think he was seen as long term prospect at Highlanders and had been developing in Mitre10. Big mover last year and will be interested to see at this level.
