@Jailbreak7 I'd say the Chiefs are the last team that needs a midfielder. I think they have the best midfield depth in the comp.

Somehow the halfback manages to look short even in head shot profile photo.
Storms are predicted so it could be wet conditions.

The Gallagher Chiefs only pre-season fixture against the Blues in Waihi has sold out this afternoon. The Waihi Athletic Rugby Club has a capacity of 3,700 which has now been reached in ticket sales.

Left/right lock, left/right flanker
Is this Tah language, or did Rob Penney introduce this? -
@Stargazer It’s so they don’t get confused what side of the scrum there on 😂
-
@mikey07 although if they struggle with that, will they actually know thier left from right?
-
it's pretty standard at lower levels to play "left and right" at flanker if that's how your trio is made up.
And i would say it's less about the set piece, and more about how they set up on the field.

@KiwiMurph I'll admit that I've had this expectation before and it didn't happen, but I think the Tahs will be one of the stronger teams in the competition this year. Definitely a candidate for the play-offs.

@KiwiMurph said in Super Rugby 2020:
@Tim Tahs are going to be a fascinating watch this year - new coaches bringing in a completely new style - some sneaky good recruits and a handful of Aus U20s stars.
You mean...it's their year?

@Stargazer geo-coded?
-
@Stargazer bugger, doesn't seem to like me coming in from UK - just get "There was an error playing this video". Now I have to do work instead....
-
Looks like there are some quickly uploaded highlights for each score on Tahs Twitter (not sure if geocoded)
-
This ref has no feel for the nature of the game. Second yellow in a preseason game; this time Tomkinson for coming in from the side.
-
Pretty messy half, highlanders up 14-7 with 2 x YC, scrums were messy AF...pre-season joy.
2nd stream good quality on phone.
-
@Stargazer yep - might just be a Bones issue, nevermind.
-
Angus Bell for the Tahs is going pretty well. Good runner of the ball and seems to be pretty busy.
