Force v Chiefs

[Bovidae]

Messam and (hopefully) Kahui.

That's possibly a better team than we ran out last week. There is at least an attempt to have three real line out options there, plus we have a bit more firepower (very rocks n diamonds of course) in the backline. Hope Harris has figured out how to throw again.

The bench is pretty meh though - but it will be awesome to see Messam out there again. I hope he doesn't look too old.

@gt12 Only 3 players were to miss out, and two of those were dependent on which hooker and prop weren't selected. Poihipi the unlucky back.

I thought Lowe would be moved to 11. Stevenson and Tiatia will provide some highlights - good and bad.

Compared to Stevenson or Lowe?

Kahui I think the reference is

@frye ah thanks. Typical Kiwi never considering the opposition.

Suzie Kahui, just might stick.

@stargazer actually a pretty solid, workman like team. I can see their set piece outperforming the Chiefs. Will be tough for them to contend with the Chiefs in open play, though.

[Duluth]

Good skills from both Chiefs locks

[gt12]

Wtf was that you muppet Tiatia?

[Yeetyaah]

Huge run from Vaa'i. Also hate the commentators calling them the "Waikato Chiefs." We dropped the Waikato from the name in 1998 man.

On this, that’s the biggest change I would have made to the team/touring squad. Tiatia should be coming off the bench with Trask starting.

[Yeetyaah]

Great try. Offloading fest.

[gt12]

Beautiful from Dmac.

Looking for a reason not to give it? I hate this about rugby now.

[Yeetyaah]

Haha okay. Knock on.

I'm surprised they didn't want to look at the ruck after it as well. Someone's shoulder made contact with a head!
