    McMillan, however, said he hadn’t specifically eyed up this game to rest his big guns. After all, this is a make-up fixture from the round two one which was cancelled due to Moana’s Covid situation, which in turn meant the Chiefs would play a gruelling 13 games on the trot before the quarterfinals with no bye.

    The article also says that Ioane could be available next week, but nothing on the other missing players.

    Lots of chopping and changing in that MP line-up again, which is understandable. I hope that from next weekend on, they're going to be able to have more consistent selections and that they're going to find out what their strongest line-up is, because until now, we have not seen it, yet. They must have capped the highest number of players of all squads.

    @stargazer

    Including this weekend's coming match against the Chiefs, they will have called up 50 players this season (including a few guys named in their initial squad who haven't yet featured). The Hurricanes have called up 49 (by the same metric).

    In terms of actual players used, MP will be sitting on 47 after the Chiefs match (assuming no changes), with Isi Tuungafasi, Don Lolo and Lote Inisi not yet used this season. For the Hurricanes, that total will sit at 44 after the weekend (Owen Franks, Dom Bird, Tyler Laubscher, Pepesana Patafilo all unused).

    @mr-fish top effort. I thought Canes had already used 46 plus 6 more in warmups and 5 players not used. I had MP at one less unless Kalapu or Macilai have taken the field in Super proper.

    To be fair, I wasn't including any pre-season fixtures.

    The full lists:

    @mr-fish superb thanks. Those identical Asomua twins got me. And I thought I saw Logan Henry and Riley Higgins but the latter was a preseason game only.

    @arhs Haha whoops, yep you're right on both accounts.

    One's a typo and one's a product of all the damn last-minute changes that teams have had this year.

    Quite amazing that the Canes have called up five halfbacks and eight hookers this year.

    I mentioned in the match thread of Chiefs v Blues the Jacobson was jogging when Beaudie made the crossfield to big red. Watch the clip again and you can see him limping on his strapped knee. I don't think he's ready to return from injury yet but now he's starting.

    Chiefs playing in a style that suits MP. But I guess MP will run out of steam.

    Was just going to say how awesome that tackle and then try from Tuitavuki were and then he drops the ball stone cold. 😂

    @yeetyaah Have you watched any other matches the last few years? It hasn't been a yellow anymore for ages.

    That looked like a genuine intercept attempt, both hands? No Replay so maybe I was mistaken

    Looked like genuine attempt to me. Gatland's option taking is pretty average so far.

    Glad it's not. I hate that it's a penalty let alone potential card.
