@gt12 lack of game time together ,and now the poor buggers are gonna be forced to play catch up games ..3 in a week,talk about a double whamny
And on top of all that they are infected by Hawke Bay
They’d be down by 70 by now if not infected by the Bay. The Chiefs would only be up by 10 if not infected by the Bay (plus they’d have no halfback).
Chiefs have had all their Bay shots and boosters though

I’m probably going to get shot down for this but something about Vai’i at 6 reminds me of a certain Mr Kaino.
Yeah I was wondering if he has a future at 6. Looks like has some promise there.

Try scorer Thompson the Bay booster this week.

He’s really busy. Not sure he has the strength yet to go that far.
Edit: ESPN has him as the leading metre maker in the forwards (46 off 8 runs), 3 defenders beaten, but only 4 tackles made. He had a good busy game though and its where we will probably need to use him.

I'm liking the look of him there better than at lock. Still extremely light in contact though, which is maybe similar to baabaas Kaino but nothing like AB Kaino.

He’s done the hard work when needed but also made good decisions and shown nice touches. Still looking fresh at 80 minutes as well.
BTW I am thinking young Kaino not the fully fledged legend version.
I’d be happy to see him continue there. -
@crucial bit early for my liking to be making those comparisons ,looks no better than Scott Barrett playing in a 6 jersey at the minute
One thing he has got in his favour is an All Black coach who has no idea what he is doing so he will probably get used as a 6 -
