    @Stargazer yeah not a bad idea, I don't recall ever seeing Hunt at 15 though...at least not that left an impression. Kinda interested to see how the 10/12 axis develops but as I said last week, we're a better side with Ioane in charge.

    Ioane at 15 would be better than Ioane at 12. You could put either Tomkinson/Collins in the midfield and shift McKay to wing or bench.

    @KiwiMurph McKay was terrible on the wing in the preseason game against the Crusaders. Couldn't make a tackle. He was Leicester Fainga'anuku's and Braydon Ennor's speedbump.

    @Bones Hunt has played for the Crusaders at fullback (from the bench) a few times. Looked more than capable there. But yes, Ioane at 15 would be a good idea, too.

    Pretty sure Mitch Hunt also played most of his first season with Ta$man at fullback, while Marty Banks played first five.

    He was OK for a little guy, but no DMac.

    I think 1st five is his best position.

    I have a theory that we are about to see the re-emergence of genuine 2nd fives. Guys that can genuinely play 10 starting games at 12
    Rugby is cyclical and it's been a while since we've seen it.

    Maybe in a couple of years the starting 12's around the country are Ioane, Plummer, J Barrett, Havili etc

    Matchbox was cake last week anyway. Be good to see Tei get back on the pitch.

    Is there something behind that?

    Also looked like he spent the off-season only lifting weights.

    I really, really, really, hope this is not going to be a massacre, (unless it's the ponies at the receiving end, but I can't see that happening).

    @Stargazer Guess it'll come down to who plays better in the wet.

    I think the Aussie commentators deliberately talk up the Nz teams no matter who it is , to make their performances seem better to their audience
