Bloody power cuts!
I wouldn't have picked both locks and midfielders would be changed.
Unavailable for selection: Kaleb Trask, Josh Lord, Gideon Wrampling, Malachi Wrampling, Tupou Vaa’i, and Anton Lienert-Brown.
@Duluth said in Blues v Chiefs:
Is Parker covering lock or would Finau move?
Probably Finau, although Parker has played lock before.
At least McMillan and co have worked out that Boshier shouldn't be starting at 7. More interest is that Poihipi is the 1st 5 cover.
Hmm looks like a token effort from Chiefs for a result. More about getting peripherals more game time in readiness for QF.
A stat from today's newspaper:
427
That's the number of days since the Chiefs and Blues last played each other.
In that time the Blues have played the Crusaders four times, while the Chiefs have played the Hurricanes and Crusaders four times each.
This just shows how poorly designed the SR draw is, as there was meant to be some rotation in the number of times you played each NZ opponent.
Changes for the Chiefs as well.
️ Emoni and Shooter out
️ Ets from 11 to 15
️ Benji from 23 to 11
️ Coombsy into 14
️ Quinn from 22 to 23
️ Josh into 22
If the Blues get a win in this game without a BP, the late penalty miss by Perofeta in Wellington will have a bigger consequence.
