Manawatu v Otago
-
Funny, I was reading that Manawatu line up and lamenting how many flankers are being played as undersized locks in the NPC these days, wondering where all the new big men are, and then I read on and saw the bit about Hughes. Don't know what he weighs in at but he certainly has some height about him. Even better, we can recall him if we need another tall later in the comp, after he's cut his teeth with the Poo!

@african-monkey He makes a lot of plays and plays bigger than his size. It's good he's got a contract now.

This is a pretty good game. Lots of running rugby.

@stargazer just finished watching that game as well,totally staggered by the Turbos capitulation in the 2nd half.
To be well beaten 2 x weeks in a row heavily given some of the talent they have available is staggering.
One player they seem to be missing big time is Jackson Hemapo,it does my head that he was not realised for this game,can understand Laumape not playing but the Hemapo one is madness..On saying that,they were well beaten.
