    Team looks about the best we can roll out given the personnel we have available eg Dixon and Falcon en route to Japan. Only worry might be if McClutchie has an off day with his goal kicking and Hintz is not that tall, even for a squat prop.

    What are you guys worried about? Hawke's Bay have won 5 in a row, while Waikato have lost their last 2 games. I'm not expecting a repeat of 2015.

    See we've even resorted to selecting ex-HB players. 🙄

    Messam is going to run out of games to play his 100th.

    Toala used to take over the kicking duties if McClutchie had forgotten his kicking boots. Enari has played first five, so I assume he can kick at goal as well. I've seen Visinia kicking at goal for Clive, and pretty well, too.

    @stargazer Easy solution would be to score all the tries in front of the posts thus taking the goalkicking risk out of the equation.

    That's a wee way to drive a maul, especially with no Dixon

    It's not enough that you stole Sullivan, now Tongia. Tongia, dead to me now.

    I wonder if Hamilton Burr's parents are American, or if they knew about Hamilton and Burr when they named him (apologies if this has been discussed on the Fern already, there's likely a good chance I have already discussed with my faulty memory).

    @nepia Matt Cooper, Roger Randle and Hallam Kupa are others that should fall into that category too.

    Wikipedia seems correct (except for "current team").

    Point of order. We stole him from those filthy Aucklanders.

    Surely he has to be Scottish with that name?
