Auckland Rugby 2022

@duluth Good call. Blake Gibson and Niko Jones will be available too? Sione Tuipulotu and Terrell Peita were squad options last year.
Kalapu and Dalzell were squad locks last year. Kalapu looks like he has some grunt. Lane looked improved last year.
IIRC, Josh Beehre (lock) and Wallace Sititi (loose forward) were quite highly rated from the 2021 Blues U20s?

5 ?
6 ?Jamie Lane & Kitiona Vai?
I didn't realise Vai was Nanai's brother:
Younger brother Cody Vai might just be he best of the lot!

Have you watched the young (21 yo) Eden lock Jack Casey-Pickering in action?
Out of MAGS, and seems to have been involved with Auckland U18.

Two exciting re-signings for Auckland Rugby who we will look to bolster the @bunningsnpc forward pack this season.
Alex Hodgman has been lining up some strong performances for @bluesrugbyteam in Super Rugby Pacific. The @suburbsrugby member broke into the All Blacks squad in 2020 and we wish him all the best as he goes for another black jersey this season.
Niko Jones debuted in the Blue and White Hoops in 2020 and an NPC season cut short in 2021 only halted him from making his impact on the game from the side of the scrum. The @waitemata_rugby_club member made his Super Rugby debut for @moanapasifika in Round 9 and we are looking forward to seeing him in the NPC campaign.
