Highlanders v Chiefs

[Bones]

@Yeetyaah if only the Highlanders had a proven 12 who's more than capable at super level.

[African Monkey]

@Duluth Wouldn't have thought he was up to this level at this stage of his career from what I've seen. He's barely played M10 Cup.

[Duluth]

Josh Ioane injured

Hunt to 10
Koroi to 15
Gatland added to bench

[Bones]

@Duluth shitballs.

The young All Black sustained a groin injury at training on Friday and will be assessed throughout next week, the Highlanders said.

Where's the super communicator Michael Collins?

Stop talking him up.

[Rapido]

I will delay turning sky back on, by a day, just because of silly jerseys. Not interested in watching that.

The saffa superhero kits were my last straw with super rugby (and there were plenty of straws) , couldn't suspend the disbelief anymore that the competition was worth anything more prestigious than content filler.

@antipodean wait until the Covid-19 commemoration jersey!

[Yeetyaah]

FATHER VS SON STORY OF THE NIGHT. Wait we had that 3 years ago.

Joe Wheeler is that you?

[Yeetyaah]

My body is ready.

[Jailbreak7]

Whilst I;m keen to see Boshier and Jacobson especially take up the reins, for the Chiefs - Sam Cane and others already sooooooooo many injuries - really?

[antipodean]

Get on with it ffs

[Jailbreak7]

@antipodean Yep

[taniwharugby]

@Jailbreak7 probably the longest period many of them have gone without contact if they were uninjured already or since they left school.

Will be interesting to see what the pace of them game is like, given many had several weeks of managing thier own fitness.

[Nepia]

I kind of wish those jersey's were pinker, I feel like I'm supporting the Crusaders.

[Jailbreak7]

@taniwharugby Exactly. Yes it is good to see contact sport back! I do wonder about the quality especially later in the game, but it is to be expected I guess.

Music at rugby games is as annoying as ever.
