Chiefs 2021

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae yeah good.

[ARHS]

Wondered why Liam CoombesFabling not wanted for Super wtg or Development team. Saw why today. Looks to the manor born in an NZ sevens team starring in the second trial today. Will push some incumbents for their Olympics squad berth on that form

[Bovidae]

@arhs He's really suited to sevens and starred when Waikato won the national title a few years back. I don't think he is big enough to be a wing or fullback in XVs. An option at 1st 5 for me.

[Stargazer]

Same injury as Ardie Savea.

[Yeetyaah]

@stargazer fuuuuck he was showing some fine form as well.

[Bovidae]

A real shame. I'd prefer Nankivell to play 2nd 5 instead of Wainui at centre.

[Tim]

@bovidae Wainui is bloody awful in the midfield.

[Bovidae]

@tim I could tolerate Wainui as the backup centre in the 23 but not as a starter.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer And again from Weber...

[Stargazer]

@bovidae Where's the dislike button?

At least Lowe is repping Clive, and in the video 'Apikotoa is repping Taradale (and not some shady club from Lower Hutt).

[Yeetyaah]

Nankivell repping Hautapu as opposed to a Ta$man based club is kinda weird.

Yeah, and he seemed passionate about it in the video. His brother plays for Fraser Tech.

[Yeetyaah]

@bovidae yeah it is weird. Maybe a switch to Waikato? Does he really play for Ta$man much?

I doubt it. We have Wrampling coming through, as well as Tupaea and Sullivan.

Does he really play for Ta$man much?

Nankivell was always in their top team, until he got injured.

[Yeetyaah]

Based on how McMillan has done compared to Gatland would there be any chance of Gatland maybe not being head coach? Or some kinda double head coach type thing idk.

Stolen from the Legend of Marty Banks page:

"Brothers Kaylum, Lachlan and Bobby Boshier"

@gt12 Bobby Boshier hits harder then both of them combined.

[Bovidae]

Also mentioned in the article (about the Chiefs-Reds game):

Collins is working with Reds counterpart Dave Hanham to negotiate details, hopeful that they can announce a decision by the end of the week, with a home venue outside of Hamilton also an option.

[Stargazer]

@bovidae It would be great if all Super Round games are played outside the main centres, whether that's in NZ or Oz.

[Bovidae]

I've just been watching the Chiefs-Wales game from 2016, that was recently replayed on Sky. I know a lot of the talk was about the young loose forward trio (Boshier, Brown and Sanders) in this game but ALB was very impressive too, so no surprise he made his AB debut later that year. And not forgetting Beaver...
