Damian McKenzie has withdrawn from the Chiefs' Super Rugby season-opener against the Blues on Friday (abductor muscle strain). Replaced by Shaun Stevenson.

Gotta review my tips now... maybe the Blues might get up? Nah, stick with my first impressions, Stevenson's a pretty handy replacement.

Abductor muscle strains are usually a couple of weeks? No? Is there a doctor in the house?

[Brumby Runner]

That looks a particularly strong team to me. Think maybe the Canes have been playing silly buggers in the trials.

That's a very good looking Stormers pack. The Hurricanes might be up against it I think

Every year the Stormers disappoint me but maybe this year will be different

its the last year of Newlands, so the pressure is on.

Geez as a Canes man I hope you right BR!

Either Loss Bleus v Chiffs isn't on PitcairnTV & Dismal is blissfully unaware of proceedings at Eden Park, or it IS on PitcairnTV & he's aware of proceedings at Eden Park but, shall we say, otherwise engaged at present

probably busy taking a leaf out of Pfitzy's book

 

[lincoln]

Rieko Ioane looking lean and hungry. Halangahu seems to have the backs looking ok playing the old prison break b-ball.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

Ta'avoa joins a Laulala on the sideline. Scrum was under pressure as it was so it's only gonna get worse for them.

For those who missed it on the Energy Efficiency thread:

Even the MSPaint caption is the money shot, so to speak.

Well, it was a good season while it lasted.

 

[waiopehu oldboy]

[Sully]

I was all look at the Blues goes and stuff and then... Regular service resumed.

^ Chapter 5: The Wheels Fall Off. Just Like Last Year.

 

[Dan54]

By geez the Blues need to start with Nock at 9 he certainly looks a class above Ruru, especially clearing the ball!!!

Anyway that will do me as a season opener, really enjoyed it!!
