    @Stargazer Hmm yes - guess there are always injuries, but I would really rather a NZ franchise selected him first hand (especially since his running mate Fakatava has been picked up) so we could get a better look at him. Cross fingers an Aus franchise doesn't come knocking.

    Rivez Reihana is training with the Chiefs. Good to have him in the system.

    @Machpants pretty hard to disagree with any of that. Maybe Sona at loosehead.

    Manu wasn't involved in 2012/13 so is he part of the best team of the decade? Definitely Sona.

    I also wouldn't have Leitch, although he did play well for the Chiefs. Move Messam to no.8 and include Latimer in the loosies.

    I love Lats, but he and Cane always shared the 7 jersey, so it's a bit hard to move them around like that.

    Messam almost always played 6 in big games too:

    @gt12 I had looked at the team lists for both finals too. Messam did move to no.8 against the Brumbies and scored from the 5 m scrum.

    There really isn't a standout Chiefs no.8 that played over multiple seasons in this decade.

    Ben Afeaki was a better player than Ben Tameifuna IMO. It's a shame he had to withdraw from rugby because of concussion.

    "This group of young men" : this doesn't apply to Geldenhuys, IMO.

    U missed Luke Jacobson from the starting team cuz. Not even Colin Cooper was dumb enough to not start him. Also Laulala is a tight head not a loose head

    You also said set piece is our strength with “2 tall timber locks” ummmmm we haven’t had one of those apart from Retallick... we usually play 5 loosies + the outside backs imo aren’t our strength it’s our loosies

    Tipping Blues to win the conference and Crusaders to be 4th? You’re joking right

    I don't need to watch the video to see the first mistake, it is the first word in the title...

    Or was that a deliberate piss take?
