Auckland v Waikato
-
@ARHS Yes, shoulder injury I think. No news on Johnstone's health either. There are never any updates when the team is announced.
Wrampling provides some size on the wing as Coombes-Fabling and Waaka aren't big. Osborne would too, but he's been shit.
I thought Luke did OK at 7 against Boshier and co. Auckland have 2 opensides in their trio.

@Bovidae Yes, I was worried about combating the Auckland pair without Mitch - but Luke was very good last week. I have not seen either Osborne or Wrampling impose themselves as much as hoped, but am ok the latter gets the chance - although I prefer Te Whare-Crosby. I am hoping to make it to Eden Park

Messy game so far. We have them at set piece time but can't seem to string anything more than 3 phases at a time.
