Wellington v Taranaki

[Higgins]

@Canes4life Are you discussing the openside flanker position or the No. 8 spot?

[Winger]

@Canes4life said in Wellington v Taranaki:

@Winger he looks a lot more solid compared to Ardie at the same age. Big future ahead. Would rather him over Kirifi in the Canes.

He looks a 7. Hope the Canes pick him up.

Another try by Lakai. Wish I could find stats on him

[KiwiMurph]

Lakai at 8.

Savea at 7.

Canes would be looking good.

Or the opposite. Lakai could play at 7

He's an 8. He played 8 for U20s, he's playing 8 here.

I know but Savea is the AB 8 at present so unlikely to want to play 7

Oh yeah I have no doubt in reality that's how it will play out.

[KiwiMurph]

I would expect to see Peter Lakai in black in 2024.

[Winger]

Excellent Wellington try. A joy to watch exp after the rubbish in the last 2 matches. Its like a completely different team

Lakai scores three. He's looking class

Blackwell is also having a VG game

31-13 Wellington

[KiwiMurph]

Quite amazing how Billy Proctor got signed to a 5 year Super Rugby contract out of school considering he's a midfielder who isn't a great ball runner and can't distribute.

[Winger]

31-18. Another Taranaki try

[Winger]

Higgins replaces PUJ. 61 minutes gone

PUJ was playing well

[Winger]

Love replaces CGB. 62 minutes and 2nd water break

[Toddy]

Gotta be a red to Aumua there. Wasn't that a shoulder to the head.

[antipodean]

Aumua showing why he isn't considered for the All Blacks. Same "wrap" Koroibete had.

Lucky yellow. After a great game too

[Toddy]

That's a red clear as day. What a dirty fucker. Hopefully he's cited and cops a decent ban.

Should’ve been a red

He isn't a dirty player. But agree this was not good
