      After its best display of the season, there is just one, injury-enforced change, to the Auckland team for Sunday...

        Should be a good game. Auckland looking to avoid relegation and Tasman trying to make the semis. Im glad they havent tried to shoehorn Moala into the backs. Auckland is seriously low on locks.

          Makos Team: Will Jordan, Tima Faingaanuku, Levi Aumua, Trael Joass, James Lowe, Mitch Hunt, Billy Guyton; Jordan Taufua, Vernon Fredericks, Ethan Blackadder, Pari Pari Parkinson, Shannon Frizell, Tyrel Lomax, Andrew Makalio, Tim Perry.

          Reserves: Ti'i Paulo, Siua Halanukonuka, Isaac Salmon, Alex Ainley, Pete Samu, Finlay Christie, Tim O'Malley, James Hawkey.

          Aumua back from suspension, Fredericks back from injury - as is Ainley (named on the bench).

          Fourth game in 15 days for Tasman - might be a bridge too far.

          It's also likely to be pretty wet at least underfoot. It's raining steadily here and not supposed to stop for a couple of days.

            I'm still surprised to read that George Moala had gout.

                @mimic I thought that was a disease of old age and poor diet.

                  It's quite common amongst islanders (I think it's genetic), mainly due to our diet. Different foods trigger it for different people that I know. One of my mates had to give up doing calf raises or any exercises that put pressure on the joint cos it could trigger an attack lol

                    I think that's a bit of a myth. I sometimes get it from eating rich foods/too much seafood. I think it is a genetic thing because my dad and uncles do too.

                    As for Moala, as far as i know a lot of pacific islanders get it. Probably due to genetics.

                    Bloody painful.

                    Edit: beat me to it.

                        It's basically excess Uric acid forming crystals within joints (often in your foot).
                        My last severe bout was after eating Beef cheeks slow cooked in guinness, a pile of smoked mussels and cheese and a few glasses of wine straight after a flight. Pretty much the perfect storm. Felt like I had a nail driven through the middle of my foot for a week.

                            I’ve heard it refered to as ‘Samoan cancer’. I know a number of Samoans that suffer from it. It can be managed through dietary choices.

                                Nelson need to sort out this shithouse field if they are hosting an ABs game.

                                Will Jordan looks every inch a future AB.

                                  Yep, appalling poor ground for 1st class rugby.

                                  Jordan certainly looks classy.

                                    Territory very important - Auckland are gonna struggle when they have garbage halves - Elkington-Macdonald is some shithouse player

                                      Traf. Park is usually excellent. It's been pissing with non-stop rain for the past two days.

                                            Haha if that doesnt sum up Auckland's season - Auckland steal the lineout and Tasman score!

                                                Even with a little bit of surface water lying on it the ground has not turned to a mud heap in spite of a curtain raiser having been played on it so the ground cannot be that bad. Would they play a curtainraiser at Eden Park if the same amount of rain had fallen in Auckland as Chris B insists Nelson has had?

                                                    Little bit of surface water - haha there are enormous puddles everywhere.

                                                    Please dont mix this up with comments on the teams on the field - Tasman on the field are a far superior side and deservingly putting this rubbish Auckland team to the sword.

                                                            Nice skills by Seu for the lineout win and then try. Tasman's defense has been really good.

                                                                  Jordan is the best player on the field - possible end of year smokey?

                                                                  Not sure about him being the best player on the field, but definitely the best back. Several forwards have also had great shifts, like Frizell, Taufua and Blackadder.

                                                                  Don't see Jordan in the AB frame yet; way too early (like Bridge).

                                                                              The only positives for Auckland was gametime for youngsters Plummer and Papalii who were both pretty good when they came on.

                                                                                Auckland - apparently used to practicing on their miraculous insta-drain soils - unable to deal with it being a little heavy underfoot. 🙂

                                                                                Jordan is fucking good. With a long queue of fullbacks, I don't really see them using the apprentice slot for him, but he's surely the rookie of the year?

                                                                                And a provincial note - for 10 minutes this morning there were three Makos on the field together for the All Blacks. If I'd even thought of that happening five years ago I would have assumed I was drunk! 🙂
