    The Chiefs keep going in and out of games, especially with DMac not on the park. It nearly cost them against these guys last time out and against the Landers recently.

    It's doubtful Vaa'i will be playing as he failed his HIA near the end of the Highlanders game. I'd be starting Lord and MSR with Ah Kuoi to provide the impact off the bench. Hopefully ALB is back too.

    @Tim Hmmm.....

    Good test for the Chiefs now. Do the Crusaders have a chance now as we've seen the Chiefs without DMac or am I talking rubbish (as usual).

    @Tim lol that’s a big call from the Chiefs but hey if they can rest DMac and still get the job done then good on them.

    I can see sense in giving him a breather, he done a lot of minutes and can see he looks a little iffy on one leg. I reckon it sometimes good to put your back ups in to bit harder game, and beside Ioane will have whole week knowing he starting, and best of all Jacomb might get a run of bench!!

    McMillan has obviously got a plan for player management. MP is next round so they could have rested DMac then. The majority of the regular 23 have had at least one week off so far.

    @Bovidae sounds like DMac has a slight knee niggle that they don't want to risk.

    @KiwiMurph Makes sense if that's the case. No point risking further damage at this point in the season.

    @African-Monkey I wonder if Jacomb will get a start? Ioane has been pretty damn average when he's played 10 this year. Would be good experience for Jacomb aswell.

    You find out more about the backup by playing him with the rest of the top side. It's easy to make a comparison with only one variable changed

    Assuming it's Ioane, I wonder if he'll go better after a full weeks preparation? Actually being the general for the full week not just stepping in here and there

    I think they win this one.

    The Chiefs are quite poor without Dmac.

    The Crusaders attack has been horrible, in saying that the Chiefs attack without DMac is horrible as well.

    Thsi might be like an episode of bum fights (homeless bums, not the other type you perverts) where some exhausted sod finally falls over the line in a complete absence of class.

    @nzzp Certainly not out of the equation, but as people have pointed out, at least Ioane will get a full week training at 10.

    Sounds like Scotland vs Italy in the six nations
