The Chiefs are due.
Each loss has been a step closer to the next win.
Chiefs by 20
it's got to the point now where i can't see how we win. What advantage do we have that we can exploit?
The element of surprise!
Complacency for the opposition

The Kirwan/Umaga years have made me an expert at clutching at straws
Chiefs losing margins in this comp:
1, 12, 5, 7, 2, 4, 13One moment of cheese and you get one more try
One more try and it would've been 4 wins, 2 losses and a game taken to extra time

I'm with you on that one, but they didn't get the cheese - 7 times in a fucking row. That might signify a problem, just like it did for us.

Yeah, there's definitely loser and whiner mentalities that have taken hold in the Chiefs. Wouldn't want that to contaminate the All Black squad.
oh shit mother fucker, it's on now
you Blues boys have been up and about for 5 fucking minutes and you think you can erase the better part of a decade and a half of mediocrity, finger-pointing, and whinging?
I do not think so sir!

@mariner4life It's been most concerning seeing this change in Anton Lienert-Brown, the excuses coinciding with his plunge in form. Probably been spending too much time with Brad Weber.

To be fair to Anton, how can you know where to stand and when to run with Helen Keller lobbing the ball from rucks?

@antipodean and a gameplan orchestrated by Nickelback!

Interestingly Fidow gets dropped for Rakete Stones. I thought Fidow has been impressive off the bench, I don't think RS provides that same impact. Also IWL makes way for Le'aupepe. The fact that IWL has been out of favour lately makes me think he's on the move next year.

Three Magpies! None in the starting lineup, but still ... 3!

@Stargazer said in Hurricanes v Chiefs:
@Nepia They still have to get off that bench ..
I'm hoping they don't so I don't get mixed emotions.
