[ARHS]

Nick Grigg. The international??

[Duluth]

The Waikato side is on the official NPC site but not on the Waikato site yet

Unfortunately it's in a shit format:

[Bovidae]

If that's the team Messam gets to play his 100th game first up.

[Winger]

Yep, he seems to be a buddy of the coach.

[kiwimatrix]

McClutchie and Illi injured???

[Stargazer]

@kiwimatrix McClutchie is unavailble due to illness. Ili, I don't know. Gutted for him if he has been dropped for Grigg.

[Tim]

Ollie Norris injured?

[Dan54]

Geez that's got makings of a tasty game. Geez I real happy to have NPC back.

[Grooter]

@Dan54 same Dan , either team could win this game that's for sure

[TheMojoman]

On paper this is match of the round.

[Bovidae]

I had to google Pita Anae-Ah Sue to see who he was. Played for Linwood and South Canterbury, and in Spain and Japan. The Waikato hooker injury curse continues.

@Tim No injury updates are given, which is annoying. Finau could have been used as a lock too, but good to see McWhannell back.

I thought Leuila would play 2nd 5 if Filipo wanted to use DMac at 1st 5.

Not good enough for Scotland, may as well slum it in the Bay I guess.

I would prefer our Samoan international centre to this Scottish superstar.

That’s exactly my point

Would look so much better if the crowd wasn't on the same side as the TV camera
