Hurricanes v Chiefs

@hooroo said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:

Stupidly optimistic about this which is completely daft as this is our first real test since our last real test which we lost.

because we have The Road Warriors, the Legion of Doom, the greatest tag team in rugby history. And they like nothing better than smashing the fuck out of fancy dans like the Hurricanes.

Does anyone know when Coles is due back?

[Bovidae]

Dodgy KFC for Jules.

Will be interesting to see if BB kicks as his quad is a problem when he does. I would be forcing him to kick from hand as much as possible.

[Machpants]

@bovidae Cos Booth is not the best at kicking from hand (ahem 3 charge downs), so yeah tactical kicking might be lacking from the Canes

So has anyone seen an update from the Chiefs? Who are playing, Dmac or Mmac, Ardron or Allardice?

[Paekakboyz]

@stargazer Beaver might get another call!

Would be better than MMac

With BB not seemingly 100%, a bit worried about the 8-9-10 for the 'canes. Could easily end up with rookies in every position in the spine.

@dingo 8? You're not well. Evans has been awesome all season. And he's only new to the Canes, not to SR.

Not well? Hmmm, been away a while rather than not well. Saw Evans run in a try he shouldn't have but that's about all I know about him, so you've probably made a good call about him " only being new to the 'canes".

Still worried about combinations in the spine.

[Number 10]

According to Chiefs twitter feed, Damian McKenzie will start at 10, Michael Allardice will start at lock.

[Stargazer]

@dingo Nine is defintely the weak spot. I hope BB doesn't aggravate any possible niggle he still has.

[Stargazer]

[Stargazer]

@number-10 I guess that means that MMac will take place on the bench. I wish they'd pick Falcon ahead of him!

[Chris B.]

I'm in a quandary about this game.

I can't work out who it is that will be more helpful to lose.

On the plus side - someone almost certainly will!

Go the Draw!

[dingo]

Looks to me like the Chiefs forwards considerably better due to Cane and BBBR, and the 'canes backline slightly better. Reserves about the same.

[Stargazer]

Huge tackle from Jordie!

[gt12]

Fuck you Harris. Muppet

[Donsteppa]

Harris a Masaga level hungus on that play
