[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 997754, member: 65365"] I’m wondering now... the blues loosies were excellent last week as a trio, especially before Gibson got injured but definitely afterward as well. It’s very different this time, with ione at 6 in an unaccustomed position, instead of the more versatile Tom Robinson. Do they have the mix right? It’s all power. The chiefs lopsided were overall quite poor but no doubt will improve this week as there would have been a big focus on the breakdown at the review and in training. Still, very inexperienced locks won’t help with their organisation and cohesion against what was a very organised blues pack last week. I expected lienert brown to be moved to 13 to defend against rieko, but that hasn’t happened. On the flip side riekos defence will be tested again; it stood up last week against hard running but highly structured opposition, how will it go against the unstructured play of the chiefs? Will be interesting to see. [/QUOTE]
