@mikey07 I hope we see Colesy at some point, he always helps the Canes take their game up a notch purely by the way he plays. Who knows, he may make a surprise return against the Drua next week.
Agree. In the meantime its good to have James O'Reilly back and starting. Something that I thought I wouldn't say before the year kicked off. Im surprised that he is our third hooker. I thought he only made the squad as an injury replacement

@Canes4life He gets a lot of touches with Auckland, but we probably game plan for him to get more touches because he's our best attacker.
it's also a bit easier at NPC level to get him more touches - Super being that level above it's not so simple.

Pouri Rakete-Stones, James O'Reilly, Tyrel Lomax, James Blackwell, Justin Sangster, TK Howden, Blake Gibson, Ardie Savea (c), TJ Perenara, Jackson Garden-Bachop, Salesi Rayasi, Peter Umaga-Jensen, Bailyn Sullivan, Julian Savea, Jordie Barrett
Reserves: Kianu Kereru-Symes, Xavier Numia, Tevita Mafileo, Isaia Walker-Leawere, Caleb Delany, Jamie Booth, Aidan Morgan, Billy Proctor
From the players available in the squad looks a pretty good starting 15... except would have Sangster/Walker-Leawere as the locking pair, also J.Savea needs to wake up & be far more alert in defense on the flanks.

@NZbloke He loves jamming in then has to try catch the winger when he gets the ball.

The bloke needs to read play better knowing when to drift across or come forward quickly... also gets caught out flat footed a lot because he sits back on his heels too much.

An update from Holland including why Walker-Leawere was dropped to the bench.
