    @foobaNZ I don't mind the rotation, particularly after a storm week.

    I just hope those that are unavailable only have minor niggles and dings.

    Without seeing the Counties team there is enough experience in this Wellington side across the park to get the job done. We just can't take our eyes off the ball and think we'll win by just turning up, which I'm sure these players won't.

    @foobaNZ said in Wellington vs Counties Manukau:

    Preston now first choice 9? Good to see.

    I liked what I saw from Clarke at 10. Wonder if he'll get more changes.

    Presumably though Morgan will be the starting 10 unless he completely bottles a series of games.

    My view is Clarke is a much better first than Morgan and I'm unsure what the coaches are doing. Also, I don't think PUJ is suited to 2nd 5. The ball dies with him too much. Although playing outside Morgan can't help.

    But what a difference it made with Higgins at 2nd and Clarke at first. WTF does Higgins have to do to get the start. Coaches will drive him away if he doesn't get more game time.

    But good to see Preston start. At least they managed to get one out of three (HB 1st 2nd) selections right

    And Southall injured again. He had a VG game so shame if injuries stuff his progression up (again). Too many injuries. Whats going on

    Ten years since we last had the shield. Two players in this team were there and three others are in the squad.

    The amount of times Morgan and Umaga-Jensen drop the ball cold is shockingly bad. Time to keep starting Clarke and Higgins, who cares if the former are more experienced.

    Siale Lauaki has been everywhere in this game. Very impressive with ball in hand.

    Superb rugby by Wellington. Numia with a barnstorming run.

    That started all with Peter U-J. Great run from Filipo and finish from Preston.

    That was super stupid from Love, diving on a player on the ground.

    @Stargazer I think he got a bit over excited there.

    I always find Stu Curran so funny. He's one of those refs who always blows so much air through his whistle.

    Lovely strike play from Wellington. Unfortunately Filipo gets cut down in the 22.
