-Gone for a physical , defensive forward pack. Looking to smash the opposition in the tight and drive them back.
-Keep the ball between the 10ms and grind the chiefs down waiting for odd matchs with Chiefs front 5 being caught in the wider channels.
I thought this would be a good oppertunity to test out props best starting 15 for me.
