<p>Nah, fuck that. If Ben T were still around, he'd be our first choice tighthead with Laulala out and we'd have to put up with his stupid shit all season. Yamashita may not be up to it but he wouldn't even be in the squad if Laulala hadn't gone down and wouldn't be in the 23 if Moli hadn't gone down too. I'd rather have an inept player around for a handful of games a season than a complete liability like Ben T around for the full season.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sad thing is I liked Ben T for his first couple of seasons but by the end, I couldn't wait to see him fuck off. The two biggest games he played last year, the Highlanders quarter and the Ranfurly Shield game, he was fucking shit, continually flopping over rucks and handing the opposition easy three points.</p>

<p>That Shield match was a classic Ben T. A YC for a no arms tackle with a couple of minutes remaining with the Magpies coming home with a wet sail. I guess for entertainment value Ben T is missed because we don't get Hooroo's reactions anymore </p> -

<p>Girth? no! Attitude, Yes!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Apparently from the stories coming from the camp (and published on here, WTW can repost them)<strong> he was far from a good team man.</strong></p>

<p>I heard different from one of the coaches, this was back after the 2013 season though.</p>

<p>Of course, he remembered where he was from. ;)</p>

<p>I actually don't really remember Hooroo having an issue with him, I must of blanked it out.</p> -

<p>The Chiefs are set to be cheered on by their biggest crowd in three years in their blockbuster Super Rugby clash with the Highlanders in Hamilton on Saturday night. By lunchtime on Friday 19,500 tickets had been sold to the round 11, 7.35pm match at FMG Stadium Waikato, leaving around 5,500 before the sold out signs go up. With the weather forecast for Saturday looking positive, the franchise is anticipating a decent walk-up crowd, which will make it the Chiefs' biggest turnout since the 2013 final.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Last year's match against the Crusaders on February 28 – the same day the Black Caps beat Australia in the thrilling Cricket World Cup game at Eden Park – attracted 18,100 and was the best crowd since the franchise's second title win, before this year's Friday night match against the Blues on April 8 saw a tick under 21,000 pack in.</p>

<p>Hatiest player! Made even worse that he played for two teams I support</p>

<p>And now he gets to hang out in Paris with cool Danny Boy! :)</p> -
<p>It's in the bag for the Highlanders. </p>
<p>I know this with certainty, as I just placed a bet on the Chiefs to win and considering my utter lack of success with multis and rugby betting in general for the last few weeks... that must mean the Chiefs are going dooooown :yes:</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Really looking forward to this game. Chiefs are deserved favorites. Clan really need to get a win one over either Chiefs or Saders, and that is looking like a decidedly difficult mission.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Feketoa Vs Ngatai is going be good watching, just hope they don't go and injure each other.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Faddes at center is a concern for me and I am picking he will get a lot of runners in his channel to test his defense.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hope this game lives up to expectations.</p>

<p>Pumped for the game, it should be the next best thing to a test match.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I don't know who will win but have a small multi riding on a chiefs win and some overnight results.</p>

<p>Yep virtually an AB trial...and the three wise men there as well</p> -
<p>Webber lucky that wasn't deemed cynical</p>
I was up in arms at this penalty. But fair as fair
