Taufale to lead Lions against Southland

Looking like champs, almost a point a minute.

Getting to the final has never been a problem for Wellington. But winning them...

I like the look of Regan Verney. There's similarities to Ryan Crotty in his game (not in the same class yet obviously). Wouldn't be a bad bet for a super rugby contract somewhere.

@african-monkey yeah haven't seen much of him, but looked steady and a bit is size to him. Is he an omata lad?
