Some random names there. Hamdahn becomes the 3rd of the Tuipulotu brothers to play Super Rugby this year.

On a similar note, there are three Moli brothers playing this weekend. Monu debuting.

The scrum worries me.

The first thing I thought too.

All Moli's being frontrowers too.

Cole Forbes on the wing? Didn't realize we were so short out wide.

They lost both Kade Banks and Tangitau in the offseason. Plus Lam is now a midfielder.

Forbes has played plenty of wing but yeah it's an issue.

Yeah, no issue with it, just more the fact that I didn't even consider him to be a wing option.

They are trying that idea out as they like his mobility around the park.
Bower will also cover TH he can cover both sides

cgrant

Williams as well.

@African-Monkey Yeah, last season we got lucky with injuries, as front row depth was and is critical for us. This year we have been fucked by hooker injuries and having no lineout. Tomorrow we could well get drilled at the scrum.

Hopefully not ...

Ethan Blackadder Vs Dalton Papalii is an intriguing battle within the battle. It will be revealing which of the two does the most work or gets the upper hand at the breakdown.
