    lol, as a Chiefs guy this sort of chat is hilarious "oh, which multiple-title winning player should i leave out?" "which absolute international superstar can't get a gig?"

    we are the heartland championship of Super Rugby. Our overall record is just so deeply average. Our "hall of fame" looks like a "Rugby Battlers" facebook page.

    Sona Taumalolo
    Hika Elliot
    Ben Tameifuna
    Keith Robinson
    Jonno Gibbes
    Wayne Ormond
    Marty Holah
    Liam Messam
    Rhys Duggan
    Stephen Donald
    Sitiveni Sivivatu
    Walter Little
    Richard Kahui
    Lelia Masaga
    Todd Miller

    Bench is too hard. Try picking props FFS? Would definitely have Luaki and Cruden on it though.

    Where in the good god fuck is Latimer?

    Lats is my fucking boy

    but

    Marty Holah is the Chiefs 7.

    what bench? and even i am not crazy enough to have a bench with zero lock cover so i can put another 7 on the bench.

    Also i assume we're playing the Crusaders so Lauaki has to play.

    @mariner4life How many games did he actually play?

    DMac is the Chiefs all-time points scorer so would have to be the fullback.

    I like the front row. I'd probably make changes to the bulk of the rest though. 😉

    2012, it's no coincidence that when I arrived success also arrived.

    @mariner4life What did Retallick and TKB do to you?

    A bench that has Retallick, Lauaki, Kerr-Barlow, Cruden and Tim Nanai Williams 😉

    S’funny but Rory rarely gets mentioned in the discussion about England’s greatest wingers, recency bias I guess, but he was a gun winger for sure.

    Really, I'd have thought he'd be the first wing on the team sheet? Or Alexander Oblensky. 😉

    Can’t possibly pick him. Blatant poach.

    England are pretty happy to poach - plus they'll give citizenship to illegals if need be.

    It’s our right as inventors and guardians of the game.

    Red Beard, Bart Man, NTA
    Catogrande, Snowy
    Booboo, Duluth, Kirwan
    BSG
    Tim, TaniwhaRugby, Crucial
    Bones, MikeTheSnow, Mariner

    Coaches - Dogmeat, VictorMeldrew, JC
    Managers - Donsteppa, Hooroo

    Gameplan consisting of trying to keep the ball tight, apart from when it isn't. Scrums will be completely full of knowledge of what to do, how the opposition is cheating, with a distinct lack of ability. Second row should be menacing, with a nice combination of true psycho killer & English brute. Backrow will be extremely busy, constantly cleaning up all the dropped balls, missed tackles & high shots. Onto the backs - like any number 9, we can expect ours to just be a yappy little fluffybunny. Bit of a Carlos type at 10, with nobody having a clue what he's going to do & when he does it, still not a clue what just happened. A solid midfield will offset that somewhat, although the centre is not a massive fan of going right. We won't be sure if the back 3 are on the field, but there will be plenty of smart arse comments with the odd bit of flair coming from their section.

    Coaches we can expect a lot of wisdom and experience, although whether that counts for anything will certainly be debated. Managers will be excellent at ensuring everybody is where they should be with a plethora of refreshing drinks for the aftermatch function.

    Unlike most of your teams, my reserves bench is about 2,000 people long and thus too many to list here.

    @MajorRage I'm rapt to make the loosies. You must have watched my early 20s form... numbers got a bit smaller through my 30s and 40s ...
