Not the tallest lock combo. (Blackwell's 1.90)
Taine PLUMTREE is a 20-year-old New Zealander rugby player standing at 1.95 m tall (6 ft 5 in) and weighing in at 108 kg (17 st 0.10 lb; 238.10 lb)
And hopefully Aidan Morgan gets reasonable game time

1-Mackintosh
2-Coltman
3-Hohneck
4-Regan
5-Dickson (hes back, which is nice to see)
6-Eaton
7-Nel…not really thought of him as a 7
8-Misiloi9-Hammington
10-Ioane
11-Nareki
12-Morris-Lome
13-Timu
14-Koroi
15-collinsdisappointed to see we're playing around with the backline again, i thought ourbackline for the last few weeks had done enough, didn't fire last week admittedly
Timu and Morris-lome just seem too similar and collins offered something a little different, koroi and narkei are a pretty small wing pair, just doesn't feel as balanced
-
@Duluth strange that the instagram team announcement has Billy Proctor at 13 and PUJ at 12 with Vince Aso out altgother, whereas the team above suggests Billy Proctor is out of the 23 and Aso is starting.
One of them must be injured.

He's very good over the ball, and not that big for a no.8, so I think he will go well.

The one above is from a newshub story. It might be wrong

From the Lions website. Coaches don't see Savea as a midfield option

@Winger Savea shifted to midfield last weekend during the game.

I know. But Savea said he wanted to play in the midfield. With Aso out this would have been the ideal game to give him a full run there. say at center with Proctor left at FB. With Pepesana Patafilo on the wing

Crowley said that they wanted to play Proctor at centre in the expectation Wellington loses PUJ to the ABs.
-
@Winger yeah especially considering Renata is a bit meh.
-
@Bovidae I suppose if he's trained there all week it makes sense to leave him there. PUJ goes well at 12 anyway.
-
Im surprised the ABs let PUJ play normally they cotton wool the injury cover.
-
Good work by PUJ and Goosen in the build up to that try
-
Fidow looking a beast
-
Oh and the welly nine is so slow, really poor passing
-
Jules is so far past it.
-
Josh Ioane also looking a class above, young plum not bad either, debut I think?
-
@Yeetyaah how many times has he dropped it?
-
@Machpants starting debut I think, he's come off the bench a couple of times this season.

But, but, but...he's an ex-All Black .
Surely, he's playing like it's still 2014!
-
haha WTF Savea!
-
Savea gets hit by a sniper ..🤦♂️

And just let's a try in
-
Julian Savea just proved he isn't a 12. Wellington, stop giving this guy chances, he isn't upto it anymore.
-
They love their Human centipede, the Otago team
-
Bring Thompson on.
-
Can't pass for toffee, but nice run

From reading this thread one would think he's fallen off a cliff faster than any 11 in AB history ( which in itself is saying something ).
Is he really that shit nowadays ?
-
@MN5 yup, it's actually painful watching. Feel sorry for him really.
-
@MN5 he was good last weekend, but he's not standing out at M10 level. He's also dropped a lot of ball this game. Basically this looks his level now
-
@MN5 he fell off a cliff years ago, he just found another lower one to jump off
-
Defence optional game
-
like how mauls goes backwards almost 10m and when it finally stops ref is like, thats 1...

One day someone will do a study on All Black left wingers and make a fortune if they discover some sort of cure......

Shit I picked Wellington to trash

So safe to say with BB's injury Foster wasn't going to bring him in as a surprise replacement for the game tomorrow ? he's already in Wellington so that helps.
