Chiefs 2020

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer Filipo was coaching Waikato in the CCCC, and might still have a house in Hamilton. I know some of the out-of-town Chiefs used to live there when he was overseas.

As to the team, excluding all of the BOP players unavailable, I expected Vaa'i to be involved, Finau as well. Maybe he is injured. I also don't remember Sullivan playing fullback before.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae I'm glad Falcon finally gets to play a game at 10.

No Sam McNicol. You'd have to assume that if he had been healthy, he'd play at least in the curtain raiser? I hope the concussion symptoms haven't returned.

RE Vaa'i, Under 20's have been doing some camps recently I think.

That makes sense.

I wouldn't be surprised if Samipeni Finau is playing for the opposition.

Hamilton Burr

This crusading lawyer should be solving cases and coming up with last minute evidence to exonerate guys who looked completely guilty of murder beforehand. Great TV name!

New limited edition jersey for the Chiefs incoming.

I was speaking to a Chiefs player while buying lunch and asked about the colour of the new jersey. Based on his reply, it seems more of the same with these pastel colours. We'll see...

@Bovidae Filipo is working for Waikato Rugby, coached club rugby last season, helped out with the M10 Cup team too

[Bovidae]

@OleOleOle Yeah, he was involved with Marist previously. Good to keep him around.

[OleOleOle]

@Bovidae Yes, hes a good man and clearly knows a thing or two about Rugby

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae ffs I hope not.

[Yeetyaah]

I just saw some kids at the stadium wearing a bright pink and black Chiefs jersey. Here's hoping that's not it.

[Yeetyaah]

JK it is the jersey. I'd put a photo up but the fern doesn't allow the image coz it's too big. It's a women in rugby jersey.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah I was told it would look better on women.

Great news about Laulala.
It’s only a matter of time before the patched up front row runs out of steam

I'd be very surprised if Laulala is on the plane to SA. I spoke to him briefly outside the stadium and he still has a noticeable limp when walking so I doubt he could play next weekend.
