Blues/Chiefs/Highlanders game of 3 halves

[Bovidae]

I don't think you can read anything into the Chiefs team named. Good to see Moli listed but two other props still missing.

@bovidae Be interesting to see if Dyer gets much game time.

He would be the next in line at TH if injuries occur. Moli may be used at LH based on the other props in the reserves. Not sure where Ross and O'Neill are.

Highlanders Team 1: Daniel Lienert-Brown, Liam Coltman, Josh Hohneck, Manaaki Selby-Rickit, Josh Dickson, Shannon Frizell, Gareth Evans, Hugh Renton, Aaron Smith (captain), Mitch Hunt, Rory Van Vugt, Scott Gregory, Fetuli Paea, Moses Dawai, Sam Gilbert.

Highlanders Team 2: Ethan de Groot, Andrew Makalio, Jermaine Ainsley, Bryn Evans, Manaaki Selby-Rickit, Max Hicks, Sean Withy, Marino Mikaele-Tu’u, Folau Fakatava, Marty Banks, Scott Gregory, Thomas Umaga-Jensen, Josh Timu, Vereniki Tikoisolomone, Vilimoni Koroi.

Looks like Fetuli Paea's injury wasn't that bad.

@duluth It seems they have borrowed Solomone Tukuafu from the Chiefs WTG for this game. I will be interested in how Langi goes. I have never seen him play before.

[Crucial]

In general (certainly Highlanders apart) there is a lot of use of WTG front rowers.

Is this because they don't need match fitness or they take longer to get ready?

[Duluth]

Plumtree, RTS & Suafoa the players getting both halves in the same position

RTS needs time

Suafoa - is Robinsons injury going to keep him out for a while? Plus Ioane will be on limited minutes

Plumtree being developed as an allrounder loosie for the bench? 7 this week, 8 last week & we know he can play 6

[Bovidae]

@Crucial It might just be who is available, for the props especially.

It does seem strange that the Chiefs have 4 WTG players starting against the Highlanders, as I doubt any will start the following week.

[ARHS]

@bovidae just wonder if Dyer or Mitch J are being considered for the 23 perhaps as injury cover? Will Sam Cane start?

[Bovidae]

@arhs Boshier is meant to be Cane's backup so I would have thought he would be starting, or used off the bench in the 23 (if Luke Jacobson isn't playing).

Just clicked it’s not actually available to stream outside nz

[Tim]

Any one got a working link?

@daffy-jaffy thank you

It's everyone eyes feed really choppy? Low bit rate

[Tim]

@machpants Frame rate of stream is wrong. 30 fps instead of 25 fps, so frames are being repeated.

Still looks crap on my iPad pro, which has VRR.

@machpants The problem is at YouTube's end. It's not doing the usual telecine process, and is randomly repeating frames.
