Tasman v Auckland
-
@bovidae Slightly surprising - though Shannon has played No. 8 for us before.
I wonder whether the main plan for the season is for Taina Fox-Matamua to be the starting 8, with Renton at 6. That was how we played the play-off games last year.
I also wonder a bit why Ethan Blackadder hasn't been released to play - he won't have had any rugby for weeks? They could have kept Sotutu as the spare loosie this week.
Edit: Also a bit surprising to see Quinten Strange on the bench again, this week. The backs look stronger with Fetuli Paea starting. Maybe with Grooby there as well, though I didn't think he kicked particularly well in the little bit I saw of him last week.
Bench forwards look pretty robust.

That's why Heem plays wing in Super....
Was that Frizell who just waved him through?

I think Frizell was the inside cover and got his feet clipped.

Well what do you expect. Ruru did the exact same thing last week.

So the ruck has to be inside the 50?
soudns like it. Learn something new every day.
Plummer absolutely shanks the kick

Hell of a lot of kicking
I don't mind it. Most of its' decent - the offensive hoist to midfield annoys me though
