Sunwolves vs Chiefs preview:

The Sunwolves are coming of a bye, but the week before they won their opening game against the Rebels. The Chiefs on the other hand is a great team and one of the favorites after their previous two games. They have won against the Blues and Crusaders who are both great teams. It is going to be very hard to know what the Sunwolves is going to bring to the table after just playing the one day and although winning they faced a very poor Rebels team. If the Sunwolves is able to win this game they would show that they are a real threat to the other teams, but that is very far fetched. In the past have been the worst team and teams that played against them almost saw the game as a bye or a game to give your B-team some game time. The Chiefs has gone with this method by leaving Aaron Cruden out of the match day 23, and I can’t blame them.

Key Match-up:

Mitchell Jacobson vs Lachlan Boshier: These two is both the workhorses of their teams and they will have to step up and have a great game if their team are to win the game. Lachlan has been in my team of the week for both the first two rounds. He is a very good player and if he has another great game his team will definitely run away with the game.
