Home field advantage won't matter so much when at least half the crowd will be travelling Chiefs fans.
You can keep repeating it, doesn’t make it true.
Just listen to those cowbells as Luke Jacobson lifts up the trophy.
Fuck. Off.
Cowbells are for DSW
It’s been a long time between drinks to hear that. That made me laugh

Fuck the underdog rubbish.
We are at home, mostly fit squad, several players in career best form, sending off a popular player within the team, and have been building since 2021.
After the round robin result, do the Chiefs pull a Will Carling and go out onto the field not expecting to win?
Time for the Blues to deliver.
(That should give plenty of ammunition if we fuck it up, but it nice watching the Blues expecting them to win. All hail Vern. )
All this. I hate fans trying to be underdogs like it actually makes a difference. It doesn’t. Sucees is often built on confidence, claiming underdog status is loser talk.
Chiefs form team. Theirs to lose! 😛

With Taukei'aho out we will target their lineout. Beehre or McWhannell? Beehre is the better ball carrier.
It's pretty worrying for us, as your scrum is also a weapon.
If we get our set piece right, we still have to worry about your carry and clean. That's before even considering the talent in your 3/4. It's a good Blues team, and I've got a bit of wood for Stern Vern's style.

“This year they’ve shown a really good maul, really good scrum, and that power game with their carry one off the ruck, and forwards and backs joining in,” said Larkham of the Blues. “And they’re one of the strongest teams in all aspects defensively.
“They’re very well drilled. They’re big bodies. They’re going to be hard to beat. When you get these conditions on this surface and those big bodies coming at you, it’s pretty hard to stop them.”
