Looking at the injury list and who is available, I am surprised and disappointed at the outside back selection.

PLAYERS UNAVAILABLE DUE TO INJURY:
Wallace Sititi – Hamstring – Rd 8-10
Jayden Sa – Shoulder – timeline TBC
Fiti Sa – Quad – Rd 8
Isaac Hutchinson – Knee – Rd 8
Benét Kumeroa – Ankle – Rd 12

Gibbes must rate Coombes-fabling

Narawa and Taumoefolau have travelled to Aust. Rotation?

@Bovidae I was mystified by their omission

@Bovidae Taumoefolau hasnt started for the last 2 rounds has he?

@taniwharugby Yes, he started against the Highlanders, and hasn't been in the 23 since then. There are 28 in the touring party so you would expect some changes for the Force game.

Jesus Jono, don’t piss around with the Brumbies.

Referee: Nic Berry

Might have dodged a bullet there.

Brumbies fans loathe Berry. A reasonable sign he isn't grossly biased to the home team.

Lol my brother went to the Brumbies v Blues match earlier in the season, and he couldn't stop laughing at how the Brumbies fans thought they were hard done by in the game by Gardner! And genuinely thought Caleb Clarke went out dead when he scored his 2nd try in the corner lol. Meatheads.

Anyway, glad you Chiefs fans don't have to put up with Gardner this week.

Hasn't Berry been the ref when the Hurricanes have lost to the Brumbies in the QFs in recent seasons?

Doesn’t matter, we still hate him

@yourmatenate said in Brumbies v Chiefs:

Berry the ref I heard them cry. Dig him up just to hate him again

Australia leading innovation again, another new way to delay the start of the match.

James Maloney and Justin Harrison Jesus Christ this is gonna be a punishing couple of hours.

@Yeetyaah Have you not heard of the mute button?

Yuuuuck Jacobson

Jesus that’s a grim crowd

Very well constructed try

@Yeetyaah Have you not heard of the mute button?

Nah I just like complaining

Class from meredith

How is Combes fabling starting

Jesus that’s a grim crowd

Canberra is probably one of the most depressing places in the world

Terrible pass from DMac.

Tired of NZ backs that kick the ball away endlessly.

Why is Coombes-Fabling playing?

At least he can do something right, good take in the air

Chiefs forwards have been slow

Vaai just got absolutely smoked

Meredith with two huge breakdown turnovers as a 10.

This Meredith kid has plenty of Matty Gits about him.

supporting own body weight?

Why are the Chiefs using Brown as carrier as opposed to the bigger body of Parker ?
Makes no sense

That rule doesnt really apply to the Brums in Canberra

Was just thinking that . Headgear bias

You get the feeling Lord is going to force himself into the starting ABs team

FFS give me strength!
