@Yeetyaah since Ioane is injured wouldn't you have Bryn at 10 or would you like Reihana to get a start soon?

@Yeetyaah I don't think that Warren is involved in team selection to avoid any perception of bias.

Paul Williams is the ref, so that could be a plus or minus.

Harry Hoooooper T

Cane and Norris will be missed with McReight and Tupou in the opposition. Thought maybe Tupaea back in midfield v Paisami too.
Chiefs will need to keep McDermott in check and play at right end of field with Reds turnover capability. I think our box and diagonal kicking will be critical along with our lineout strength. Expecting a real tight one.

The Chiefs record in Brisbane in the last decade is better than I thought, winning the previous three games. Need to start well.

Seriously I don't think I've ever seen a more injury prone player..wait, maybe Petaia. Due to injuries Vunivalu has unfortunately failed to make an impact since crossing over.

We should see team lists tomorrow. I wonder when Simon Parker will actually play again? It's been a loooong time.

@ploughboy keen to see him play for Chiefs. Ideally on the wing.

It sounds like his injury might be concussion - so who knows?

That brings my heart joy.

We’ll still get smashed most likely, but at least we have a player to watch.

Parker had surgery on his foot in April last year (plantar plate repair).

Another tiny crowd

That was a bit shit by Gatland

Another poor Gatland kick.

Gatland needs another 10m on those kicks so the chasers are going forward and defenders are stagnant.

Good defense by Reds so far

Chiefs runners need to hit the ball and line with some intent

Ffs what's with the obsession with these bombs in you own half
