      I don't know much about Sam Lester. Can anyone shed any light?

      Pleased to see Peita there and at least Vest isn't starting.

          By the end of the season maybe Alama will stumble on the best side

          Get Vest out of the 23. He has terrible rugby instincts. He is the main culprit in the soft penalties

          Good to seem Heem back. I would've been tempted to leave AJ in the midfield and play him on the wing though

            @KiwiMurph I must be getting all alzheimersy as I cannot recall Angus Ta'avao being associated with the Eden Club in the past. Is this a recent thing or has he always been an Eden player? With his wandering minstrel status since about 2014 he may not have even played a club match in Auckland for all that time.

              @Higgins He was Marist before leaving Auckland. His brother played at Eden for many years so maybe thats why he's lined up with them these days?

                From varsity club. He seems to have come up from Canterbury University Club. There is a congrats post about him on their Facebook page -

                  @African-Monkey I see he is listed as being a Tukapa RFC member (think they are the Doolie mob in Taranaki) when he became and All Black #1175 in 2018 http://stats.allblacks.com/asp/profile.asp?ABID=1175

                        Auckland has a good recent record v Waikato:
                        Auckland v Waikato

                        They didn't play last year obviously. Auckland won twice in 2020. The last Waikato win was 2017

                            No mention if D’Angelo Leuila is injured or just rested. Good to have Finau and McWhannell back.

                                  Is it in Hamilton? Lisa Lewis attending would make it a slapper of a match.

                                                In a good way or flat track bully way? He's been impressive in the NPC.

                                                Big difference so far between the two backrows.

                                                        I thought he was pretty effective for the Chiefs earlier in the year.
