Some NZ players playing tonight who are better than Highlanders squad members:
Kalapu
Mataele
Tiatia
Pulu
Ili
Ekuasi -
Mataele ruled out of this game. Pulu starting and George Poolman onto the bench.
-
Are there four Kiwis in the Force and Two in the Rebels or are they the best of the Kiwis?
-
@SBW1 Four in Force, two in Rebels. All should make the Highlanders squad. Tiatia would be borderline at fullback, maybe at 12.

I seriously doubt that.

Yesterday, John Ulugia was a late replacement for the Brumbies, coming out of retirement.
Today, it's Jeremy Thrush. -
Some good structure to the Force attack.
Their bench 9 Fines is so much better than Prior it isn't funny. Chalk and cheese.
-
Thrush scores what ends up being the match winning try haha.
The Force after a slow start got their attack clicking.

@KiwiMurph how did Ekuasi go?

Didn't do much. Got on second half but couldn't make much of an impact.
