Blues v Chiefs
-
That's 23 players not named Fa'auli.
-
-
@mariner4life Hey at least he's not Wainui.
-
Yes, he's always shit - missed tackles, dropped passes.

But Wainui is there anyway. Anyway, I actually think Wainui might be better. Fa'auliu is only there due to a slight resemblance to Ma'a.

@nepia Wainui might be the worst defender I've seen in recent years of Super Rugby.
shiiiit, that would be a pretty long line to get to the front of.

Blues by 12.
-
@tim Falcon to be thrown into the deep end when/if he comes on. He has only had one preseason with the Canes and now one preseason with the Chiefs. Very, very limited time at 10 for the Magpies. Was very good for the NZU20s, but this is a big step up. Hope he'll go well. Not that I'm expecting him to get much game time, if any ...
-
@sammyc Interesting, every time I saw him play for Shirley he seemed to play very well, must not have liked playing Sydenham haha.
Anyway, don't know why people would be backing the Blues when we don't know how to win against fellow NZ teams. Something about this fixture gives me horrible thoughts of that Highlanders debacle at Eden Park last year.
Hopefully we can avoid yet another close loss.

@african-monkey Ihia West won't be dropping the ball at the back this week.

Really? how many starters in that lot?
Dominic Bird - yep
Tim Nanai-Williams - at a pinch
Charlie Ngatai - yep
Toni Pulu - at a pinch
Fin Hoeata - no
Alex Nankivell - no
Tyler Ardron - no
Regan Verney - who?
Mitchell Graham - maybe
Sosefo Kautai - who?
Sam McNicol, - maybe
Atu Moli - yep
Kane Hames - yep
Marty McKenzie - nup
Levi Aumua - who? -
In saying that Moli would likely be behind Hames and Laulala

Strange. I want the Blues to win. I think it's more important for NZ rugby.

Agree. Also my 5 year old gets really upset when the Blues lose.
