Chiefs vs Rebels

<p>Chiefs don't have much luck with very good centres do they?</p>

<p>Nuts, but glad it is for this game as we have:</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Rebels Home - We should win</p>
<p>Tahs Away - Tough</p>
<p>Crusaders home - Tough</p>
<p>Reds away - We should win</p>
<p>Highlanders Away - Tough</p>

<p>I wonder if Rennie is doubting the wisdom of playing that Crusaders' game in Fiji?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>With Nadolo, Macilai and Volavola in the Crusaders' squad I reckon we'll have a decent portion of the crowd on our side. </p> -

<p>Nope. The Chiefs must have received a deal they couldn't refuse (made easier to accept because of the Wales game). Both teams only get a % of the ticket sales, but the Chiefs receive more as it's a "home" game.</p> -
<p>A warm dry evening in a tropical winter instead of a wet, foggy or dewy Hamilton. Sounds like a good fit for the Chiefs to throw it around against an AB's forward pack fresh off three test matches.</p>

<p>I'm ever-hopeful that Toddy, having done an excellent job of managing his AB forwards' workloads, will have that favour returned by Hansen - i.e that Steve won't thrash the shit out of Franks, Whitelock and Read in particular.</p> -

<p>He's already done the job 9 times - he can be rested for the game we lose so that he's not "the first since 1953".

Crusaders' front row better watch out. Noted scrum expert Ross Karl of newshub sport came down to Hamilton and officially announced our scrum had gotten better.<br><br>

Rennie said Fisi'ihoi has been working hard with Hoeft the past few weeks to upskill as a TH. -

<p>How so? If you're talking about the Canes game a few weeks back, they have to declare what position their props cover before the game.</p>
