              I always forget about Te Kauwhata.

                      Could be wet weather rugby on Friday night.

                      I wonder how serious Tucker's shoulder injury is?

                            Very rare to see a player selected from Division one.

                              Wasn't Messam listed as a Raglan player last year, or the year before? 😉

                              Filipo has certainly rotated a lot of players over the first 3 games. Looking forward to seeing how Reuben goes as a starter. He was a good chance to make the NZ U20s but for injury, so didn't play for the Chiefs U20s either.

                                @Bovidae surprised to see a second string combination named against a Counties team with their internationals back. Counties should be too strong - unless Dmac provides some magic.

                                  @ARHS Yeah, a couple of debutants and no L Jacobson, Johnstone, Dyer or Ratima. Good to see Norris available again.

                                    Nah. Reasonably even. Apart from those three guys our lot are mostly a notch below.

                                        @Bovidae Very keen to see how Kemara goes. Looks a special talent. And good to see Norris back. At second look the Waikato bench looks extremely strong and should bring them home if opening pack hold up OK against 7 internationals pack from Steelers.

                                          Counties looking pretty sharp.

                                          Great try to Togiatama.

                                                                  Been around for a few years now, since maybe 2018 or 19 I think, I thought he was underrated a few seasons back, going well this year.
