Blues v Chiefs

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah Based on the options available Nel would offer more physicality.

I expected Norris would come in as the reserve LH prop.

[Bones]

Weird 6 and 7 for the blues. Would've thought they would want to minimise disruption when Lamborn comes on after 5 minutes.

Huh, I missed that. I guess they rate Dalton’s turnover work?

[akan004]

Do we know the status of Hoskins' injury?

[sparky]

@KiwiMurph Hats off to Rangi for finally realising that First Five is Beaudy's best position.

[Bones]

Cue Beauds having an absolute shitter.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bones here's hoping

@Yeetyaah Here's not hoping

[Yeetyaah]

@African-Monkey nah Blues fans need something to gripe about and the Chiefs need a win so would be great.

@Yeetyaah

I can’t believe I’m writing this, but I want BB to cut us up (at least a little bit) - if he is still a world class 10 he should Be able to make this Chiefs team look a bit silly (at times). NZ rugby will be in a better place if he suddenly turns his form around. Hopefully he’ll drive his team around a bit and show that he should be left at 10.

Best case, he plays really well and we sneak a win based on a late Cruden droppie.

He hasn't exactly shone when moving to 10 the last couple of second halves...

I don't have any problem with Papali'i at 7, so nothing weird there.
What is weird is Gibson at 6 ...
It would have been more logic to have Papali'i at 6 and Gibson (or Lamborn) at 7.

That's like a gilt bond paying 37% a day!

@Crucial loss insurance tempting at those odds

Gold plated?

According to Sky, Papalii had made the most tackles (66) going into this game.

[Tim]

50th game for Gibson, unless he breaks before kickoff.

[gt12]

He’s out there, at 7. That’s taken a while...
