@kiwiwomble bahaha fuck I'll be salty

@kiwiwomble Just as likely to come on and get injured.

there it is, Fakatava starting
Wow, didn't see that coming. Well, not so soon, anyway! Can't wait to see how he goes!

@kiwimurph said in Chiefs v Highlanders:
Stories come out in the press of teams chasing Fakatava - nek minnit - he's starting!
(and yes I know Tony Brown has talked at length about giving him more opportunities this year)
Yeah a nice carrot.
Also it is only the 0-8 Chiefs

Didn’t Smith just talk about an agreement to manage his workload?
If they are going to do that then they need to get the next halfback going don’t they?

Nah Caleb Clarke isn't playing.

Here's hoping Weber starts for the Chiefs. Nice little battle between two Magpies halfbacks within the bigger battle between the Chiefs and Landers.
Minor union excitement

MinorPremiership union excitementFIFY
@Kiwiwomble Leaving Otago was the best thing Weber ever did. Didn't you say yesterday that Otago has never been able to get out of the Championship?
-
@stargazer i agree, i was always a bit dark he didn't get a shot with the Landers and that really screwed Otago being able to keep hold of him, obviously Smith has proven the better choice in the long run but still
still love it when he does the Dunedin RFC shark fin

I hope the Chiefs attack the Highlanders scrum.
Will be an interesting set piece battle with Highlanders presumably set to attack the Chiefs lineout with Taukei'aho throwing to relatively short lineout options
-
@bovidae said in Chiefs v Highlanders:
Finau at 6, his best position, due to the unavailability of so many other loose forwards. Ta’avao and Brown haven't played in any preseason games.
I hope the Chiefs attack the Highlanders scrum.
Who are the injured/unavailable Chiefs loosies?
I can't even think of what loosies they have in their squad...Sowakula the only one I can think of.
