The two key players who may be in or out of the team is Cruden and S-B Williams.  I read in the NZ Herald an article severely critical of Cruden - with special reference to his deviant goal kicking and his attacking play which is becoming increasingly rare.  The article mainly is about the AB selection later this year - so it could not have an impact on Rennie's team selection for Saturday.


I would not at all be surprised if the flyhalf spot on Saturday goes to Damien McKenzie - so lets wait and see what happens.


Insofar as S-B Williams is concerned - I am seriously thinking that Rennie may not want to expose to injury his trump card for the rest of the season as a result of manhandling by De Allende - and that in a game where the Chiefs have less than a 50% chance of winning.   I think that Rennie may rest him this game and use him against the Sharks next week, where he would have a major advantage over the bumbling Francois Steyn.

 What the hell is Rennie up to - why no team announcement yet?   If anybody can find the Chiefs team anywhere - please post it asap.   I have tried -
*   the Chiefs official website - normally not updated regularly;*   the Chiefs Facebook - others are also asking - no response;*   Rugby365;*   Supersport Rugby;*   Super 15 Rugby News;*   The NZ Herald - Waikato;*   Waikato News*   News24
Any suggestions as to where else one can try.  Or is Rennie just an a r s ehole not making a team announcement before closing time of the fantasy comp?

I don't mind that it takes time - but I am sure some members of the "saruckersforum" set-up on Foxsport are getting frustrated because of the delay in announcing the team.  I have only 2 Chiefs players in my side - but intend to trade one of the two,  Cannot do that since nobody knows who's in and who's out.  If I am frustrated - how much more are others even in a worse position as I am feeling the heat.   

I know Pollard is an essential trade I must make - all other trades are optional.  I intend to take a massive chance and bring in Barrett.  
Optional trades are either Elliot and or Williams - or both (if they are not playing) or to replace Vermeulen.   What is more frustrating I am trying to get into the Foxsport Website and cannot get the window - where the trades are to be made fully open - I suppose because of heavy traffic.

 I'm a bit worried about the Stormers' pack. Especially the flankers. No problem with either one, but not  both on the pitch at the same time. Chiefs might get a lucky bonus point for losing by l ess than 7!

Now the New Zealand teams have started cheating in the fantasy Super XV as well? 
Mccaw has probably wrote the book in this spare time. At least their are no fantasy referees as well......
