Super Rugby 2023 QF: Chiefs v Reds

[Fireworks]

That Chiefs line up is stacked. Reds will need to defend like a pack of dogs to have any chance of getting close.

 

[SouthernX]

any theories on the swap of Flook and Daugunu?

daugunu likes to shoot off his wing for a big hit. Having Flook outside of him probably is to mask this liability.. that’s my logic, I feel a lot better with Flook being the last edge of the defense

Vai'i scratched, not sure if a replacement has been named.

I don't think he was ever named to play.

^ yeah, he's not in the list you posted yesterday but I see Finau was shown in the XV & reserves so maybe it was him they subbed in & I heard an out-of-date sound grab on the radio today.

Edit: looks like P-GS is now the 20.

The tweet from yesterday didn't have him either:

^ LOL it's Hamilton so "Breaking News" could've happened in the middle of last week...

Cracker day in The Tron but may get some dew after the sun goes & will be a little cooler than BrisVegas, probably around 12-14C at kickoff & 10-12 later.

Looked pristine from the captain's run photos yesterday, sounds like it'll be pretty good again if a little cold. What time is sunset relative to kickoff?

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

^ KO 4:35 sunset 5:06 but will disappear behind the stand a bit prior. Cloudless sky & no breeze whatsoever atm & I don't think that's meant to change much if at all this arvo.

Final predictions?

I’m fully prepared for periods of false hope soon followed by crippling depression

How do you do fellow Queensland supporters. I've listened to the Chats and am, thus, ready to enjoy watching the bogans of Australian Louisiana defeat the bogans of New Zealand Mississippi in the much anticipated Bogan Bowl.

 

[RugbyReg]

Reds lose the kicking game and it was only kiwi cheating that prevented the first try.

 

[Marce]

Good call

 

[Sword of Justice]

Get out of jail free card is right. Very dumb from the Chiefs winger

 

[dusk]

Not sure why the Chiefs player pushed him? Easily would have scored, the bounce completely fucked Flook

Didn't need to do it, Flook was never going to get ball, but good call.

 

[Wilson]

Huge scrum and counter there. McReight and Wilson working the combo

 

[LeCheese]

Beautiful from the Reds

 

[Wilson]

Cracking start
