If 14 backs are named with Beaugan as a 15/10 surely there's room for Plummer as a 10/12? Could even start as 10 v Fiji when DMac will presumably be rested.

Highlights @Dan54 why don't you think Plummer will be in the 32 on Monday? Pick Beaugan as a 15/10 & there's still room for HP as a 10/12 esp for the Fiji match when DMac will presumably be rested.

Say what now?

LOL pre-match drinks up home dragging out a bit, wouldn't be surprised if we end up ditching town & just watch it here.

That's cold @Sully...

Geez, it's not rocket surgery... For example: "If the stupid Blues win, this sarcophagus needs to be immediately lowered onto Dismal Pillock's stiffy then shot into the sun and detonated. "For the safety of all mankind." becomes: "If the stupid Blues choke per 2022, this sarcophagus needs...

^ in an either/ or scenario one must always prepare for both possible outcomes @zer0. Moses will know this, I'm sure.

Other than Speight's Ale House on Willoughby the best bars are in Hood or Victoria Streets. One or two of the motels on Ulster St used to have decent bars attached but since they got turned into emergency housing are best avoided. Edit: you could argue that The Helm is on Ulster St but it's set...

I'll be watching it in downtown Tron with a heap of the wife's cousins & their partners. I think the plan is to get there super-early & nab a good spot. Some very, very staunch Tribe fans among this lot so it's likely to be rowdy if Tribe are on top or stone cold silent if the other thing...

More a stereotype. Think Bill & Ted or Beavis & Butt Head. As Dan says it's more an Aus thing but say Bogan in NZ & everyone knows what you mean. Not really but some Aucklanders get really defensive if you point to the relative crowds for Loss Bleus & The Wahs over the last year or two. Which...

Must be a heap of bogans heading up from Hams, Naras & Huntly, everyone knows Auckland's a league town now... (I'll be watching it with 15-20 of wifey's whanau, some of whom are rabid Chiefs fans. Hence I'm no longer aboard the Loss Bleaus Coronation Express).

McMillan has now confirmed it's Achilles :( WRT Slater: “We’re hopeful that it’s just a minor MCL that will loosen up and with a couple of rolls of strapping tape, he might be able to get back out there next week.”...

Impressive but might i suggest you try doing a cheeky bit of drinkage on a Sunday afternoon instead, it's way more fun...

McMillan has confirmed that Samisoni won't play the GF, they're not even sure if it's a calf or Achilles issue. Tyrone Thompson is still on the books but they'll have to bring in a Club hooker as cover for Slater who was barely able to run before getting sent for HIA.

Is Tyrone Thompson still on Chiefs books or did he get an early release for NRL? If the latter Tribe could be in trouble hooker-wise.

Not only has Fergus Burke departed for Ringinland (for whom he's immediately available c/- an English mother) but now fullback/ 5/8 Blair Murray (ex NZ Schools & U20) has signed for Scarlets & his mum's Welsh... Kinda sets the rebuild back a bit :(

Conditions looking pretty good & by kicking off early they might avoid the strong winds predicted for later on.
