      What changes should/will Auckland make?

      Ieremia has indicated he'll pick the all the ABs when available. So that's about half the side settled. I assume Hickey won't be available so that should mean Sullivan on bench

      The big question is change at Hooker or halfback? Or give Apisai and Ruru another chance and possibly experiment against Manawatu?

      With Trainor & Lam playing well is there room for Rayasi?

        I can't see many changes this week unless enforced (e.g. Sullivan for Hickey).

        Auckland will want to make the most of their ABs whilst they have them - especially against a team they got smashed by last year.

          Yes there's no question about that

          I'd like to see changes at 2 and 9 but I doubt it will happen. I wouldn't be surprised to see Gibson and Rayasi get a start

              Wellington were terrible. Perenara had one of his worst games I can recall so hopefully he improves. Along with the forward pack that were out-muscled.

              Hopefully this new coach isn't crap and the team performs much better. even if they do Auckland should win though.

                Be nice if we had some AB's in the team that played like they were AB's.

                            Head Coach, Alama Ieremia has made one change to the team that were victorious over Otago in Round 1 of the Mitre 10...

                                  You need to be extra careful with Achilles.

                                          To be fair, his brother took a while to hit his straps, if he's on the same trajectory he could end up being pretty decent eh.

                                                    @Stargazer sounded like an injury in Wellington starting 14?
