Uelese is starting, Mafi is out.

Not great for Porecki if that recovery extends out again beyond round 4

I wonder if Strachan starting is in part to take the tee off Gordon?

I'm not sure Super Rugby is anywhere near as "purchasable" as super league, not with the shared ownership model.

CHIEFS (1-15): Aidan Ross, Samisoni Taukei'aho, George Dyer, Tupou Vaa'i, Naitoa Ah Kuoi, Samipeni Finau, Simon Parker, Luke Jacobson (c), Cortez Ratima, Damian McKenzie, Etene Nanai-Seturo, Rameka Poihipi, Daniel Rona, Shaun Stevenson, Josh Ioane RESERVES: Tyrone Thompson, Ollie Norris, Reuben...

Backline as expected with Henry in for Paisami and Campbell covering fullback, but with the surprise inclusion of Tim Ryan on the bench. Keen to see how he goes, looked great for the under 20s. Fa'agase swaps sides to cover Hodgman and Toomaga-Allen comes onto the bench. Have to say I've been...

Reds: 1. Sef Fa’agase – Sunnybank – Shailer Park State High School – Beaudesert Warriors 2. Matt Faessler – Brothers – Toowoomba Grammar School – USQ Saints 3. Zane Nonggorr – Bond University – The Southport School – Gold Coast Eagles 4. Seru Uru – Wests – Ratu Kadavulevu School...

Doran has Fisher signing on as Defence coach under Schmidt: https://www.theroar.com.au/2024/03/06/exclusive-schmidt-set-to-bring-back-lord-to-the-wallabies-as-first-key-appointment/

Yeah, seems like a very tight one with the Hurricanes coming in very well prepared now and with a monster of a scrum. Blues will need to start a bit faster than they did against the Highlanders or they'll have a harder time clawing back the lead. Injury (and potential All Black rest) might...

Also @RugbyReg has been teasing some big reveal at the stadium, you'd have to be a tahs fan (crazy) to miss out on that:

Big clash coming up for the Reds hosting the top of the table Chiefs. The Chiefs were absolutely electric against the Brumbies last weekend and should present even more of a challenge then the Hurricanes. That said, this has been a surprisingly even match up in recent times with the record...

Best I can tell is that's a flow on from the previous cull - they were terrified that revealing any weakness would see them cut. Understandable, but not exactly good enough from a set of what are supposed to be responsible adults.

I don't think there has been any talk of an early one this year yet. I imagine there will be something by the later half of the super rugby season, but with Schmidt less than a week in the job they're probably still focused on locking down the assistants first. If I had to guess, they might be...

As expected, Johnny McNicholl has joined the Crusaders:

1news has this particular piece of insanity: 1. Chiefs 2. Blues 3. Hurricanes 4. Waratahs 5. Moana Pasifika 6. Highlanders 7. Fijian Drua 8. Brumbies 9. Rebels 10. Reds 11. Crusaders 12. Force Hurricanes? They're great! 2 from 2 (rock solid logic) Crusaders? They're terrible (haha, yes I love...

Should be, Annan lined up at 13 for the Reds development side last weekend. That said he's a pretty good chance of getting called into the 23 this weekend with Petaia and Paisami both probably out with concussion. How much time he gets n clubland might depend a bit on how he goes there.

Stan sport had around 150,000 subscribers as of May 2021: https://www.smh.com.au/business/companies/nine-shares-rise-as-stan-sport-subscriptions-revealed-20210504-p57ot2.html I can't find more recent numbers, but I think it's pretty safe to say Nine would be shouting it from the roof tops if...
