        Zarn covering ten. He hasn't had many minutes in that position as an adult

        Hopefully Beehre & Kalapu go well. Auckland needs some new talent at lock. Are there any semi accurate stats on their height/weight?

        Hopefully Vikena gets a start v Southland. Would like to see Jock too

          This seems to be the most recent info:

              @Tim This is linked from the Bunnings NPC Media page: https://www.provincial.rugby/bunnings-npc/bunnings-npc-media-information/

              Not all provinces give the same info. For example, Auckland only gives a player's weight; other provinces also height.

                  @Stargazer Do you know much of Josh Beehre (out of Hastings Boys)?

                  Good to see some new blood in the team.

                    @KiwiMurph hes from up this way I believe (last couple of years at HB? @Steven-Harris) pretty sure i was a year or 2 behind his dad at WBHS.

                    @Stargazer Thats a great resource, I had never seen it before.

                      @KiwiMurph No, I don't know much about him. Tbh, he wasn't one of the Hastings Boys' players that stood out like some other players did, so he didn't really feature in media write-ups of games. I'm not even sure how many years he attended Hastings Boys, possibly 2, but not sure. Before that, he attended Whangārei Boys'.

                      Edit: his last year at WBHS seems to be 2019. He played for Hastings Boys 1st XV in 2020.

                              @Daffy-Jaffy Good to see some youngsters in there. If we lose, we lose but am happy to see us give them a go.

                                  McKenzie has not appeared at all in preseason or the first two games. I guess he is out injured at present.

                                    Turbos are putting out close to their best team, whereas we're putting out a B team. We should win, but I wouldn't be surprised if we struggled a bit in this one.

                                      A classic moment against the Turbos from 2009.

                                          Yeah. I thought we'd never get the ball back with how many numbers the Turbos committed at the breakdown. Onosai Auva'a came up with a miracle turnover.

                                          Number 20 is Auvasa Faleali'i. Still plays for Papatoetoe and Manu Samoa. Surprised he doesn't have an NPC contract.

                                            @Dice Remember it well. We were cruising at 16-0 and then fell to pieces. They scored with about 3 to go in the corner and a young Aaron Cruden nailed a sideline conversion iirc before the winner at the end.

                                            We had some very average teams then haha.

                                                        it's embarassing how NZR have ignored it. I loved the 9/9/9 split.

                                                        On the actual rugby, the Aucklanders are using a rush defence! Fantastic and it looks effective! WTAF ... innovation?
