I assume Holloway is injured. Is it the shoulder again? If so, was he back a week early?
A few changes in the backs, Horne to 12 will certainly harden up the defence in there, so hopefully we won't see the debacle of the first 10 minutes against the Saders.
Happy to see Guildford back, not so sure about Carraro, but Robinson hasn't been great so probably nothing to lose.
I would have preferred Dempsey starting at 6 to Mumm, who I think is well past his best, but with Dempsey just back from injury I suppose it's prudent to bring him off the bench.
As BH says, we must win this, otherwise we can start planning the end-of-season trip.

He did in that play where Crusaders ran the length of the park and Robinson got caught behind the line. He did a big dive and grabbed the crusaders shirt and then fell in a heap and Palu came on. It was hard to tell via the tv replay.

Dempsey will most likely replace Palu and play number 8 or Dean Mumm moves to lock, Dempsey to 6 and Dennis plays 8.

The westerly that has been blowing across Sydney for 2 or 3 days should ensure a fast dry pitch and no likelihood of any dew during the match. Once this might have been an advantage for us, but I'm not so sure now. One thing for certain is that the Chiefs will like the chance to play an up tempo, high skill match with ball in hand. Hope we can go with it.

Going on past performances by the Tahs, if we're in touch after 20 minutes we're a real chance.

Too many times this year we've got blown off the park in the first 10 or 20 minutes and never recovered.

Hard to see any result other than a Chiefs win, though I think BH is right -- if the Tahs can stay in touch in the last quarter of the game they're a chance.

Tough game to watch for me, my 2 favourite teams. Would love to see the Tah's get up for the win, but realistically the Chiefs will crush the Tahs tonite, just too much class, skill, accuracy and attitude! Chiefs by 12.
