Hurricanes vs Chiefs
-
@kiwi_expat It’s tough but I’d have Delany off the bench and Flanders,Savea, Iose and have Howden off the bench. Also start Rakete-Stones over Numia.
-
@mikey07 Delany would add size & height to a relatively small Hurricanes backrow (and forward pack overall), much needed if they're to challenge Chiefs who I fear might bully them upfront. Sangster, Scrafton and Flanders are the other bigger & highly physical players who ideally need to start in the pack as well. But we know that Holland will probably select his smaller 'work-rate' entourage in Kirifi, Princep & Blackwell.
-
@kiwi_expat I like your team but I would have Rakete-Stones starting over Numia, I would have Mafileo on the bench instead of Fidow and I would potentially start Roigard.

@yeetyaah said in Hurricanes vs Chiefs:
I would have thought that Nanks' form would see him start in the midfield with Tupaea off the bench. Though I'd rather the current lineup than have Tiatia start.
I like the mix in an attacking sense. While not a traditional winger or even a fullback/winger, Nankivell is quite effective with a roaming licence.
I'm a little worried about kick receipt positioning and high takes with that back three.

O'Reilly at 16
and damn, of course, Billy Proctor starting at 13, and Sullivan on the bench. And Savea at 14. Geez.
And JGB. One step forward, two+ steps back
