Northland don’t have many full time professionals who aren’t injured. They should be getting more out of him.yeah unsure what it is, he is a solid scrummager at this level, good with ball in hand and hits hard on defence, maybe they see him as better coming on later to make an impact, although often the game is gone by then...

I’m hoping it’s a wet miserable night in Palmy North as it’s usually famous for. That way we can try and roll them up front as I think we have parity there, if not a slight edge.
If it’s dry I think they’ll poo all over us out wide unless our backs really pull finger and front up.

@J77 hopefully they have had Hyland and Matiu running at Tua and Johnson all week.
Perfect prep!

@J77 will be interesting to see how Tua goes though, Laumape is a handful for the best players, so he us up against it from the outset.
But if he plays well it could be the making of him.
I’d be inclined to place old Hitman Matiu in that midfield channel at times on defence. Might sure things up a bit.

Zero penetration from us.

@taniwharugby You seem to be able to penetrate through superier scrummaging.
