Chiefs v Crusaders

[Chris B.]

@hooroo If it makes you feel happier, we also don't have Owen Franks, Kieran Read, Ben Funnell or Manasa Mataele from what I think is our best 23.

On the basis of home advantage, I think it's more likely that the Highlanders will beat the Hurricanes than that the Crusaders will beat the Chiefs - which are the two results I'm hoping for.

Hurricanes and Chiefs both winning would spoil my weekend.

Well I'm thinking of you Chris and hope that the Hurricanes lose so that your weekend is not spoiled!

@hooroo I'll take it!

In the shoot out for top spot, that's all I need this week.

Sam W was the water boy last week and looked to be doing a fair bit of “captaining” whenever he could get onto the field.

Jordan Taufua watching Lincoln Uni v Sydenham at Lincoln. Or his twin brother.

[Stargazer]

Taufua and Goodhue have been pulled. Blackadder to start, Havili to 12, Dagg to 15 and Macilai starting at 14.

Sam Cane also pulled.

[Stargazer]

Samu and Tima Fainganuku on the bench.

Injuries? You're shitting me - or ABs stopping players injuring and/or banning themselves by not playing?

All of the above...?

Just watched Blues game with no decernable structure. Like night and day...

For the second time in 24 hours a professional team has been caught completely napping... Chiefs might want to wake up.

Saders looking pretty good and they’re in!

[gt12]

Weak - BBBR there too.

ALB with a bad defensive mix up which started that.

[Crucial]

Who is the brainless fuck that decided to have TJ and Meg commentating this game?

[gt12]

Tamanivalu doing a good job at 13 so far. It’s strange that he never got more time there.

[gt12]

First good kick from Weber tonight.

[ShadowTrooper]

@machpants Expect all three to be named in AB squad on Thursday

[Machpants]

Codie being cute, stuffs it up

[gt12]

[Steven Harris]

How good has Matt Todd been in the first 20 minutes..?
