@Stargazer never thought I would say this but if Gregory isn't listed as injured why isn't he left wing?

Because he's Left Right Out

He was described as a tractor in the game against the Reds. Now amongst my mates his nickname is Massey

Kiwiwomble

@FakatavaFuture im assuming he just needs a rest, i think he's played most games, may have also clicked he's a midfielder or not at all and TUJ/Timu works better

Bovidae

I will be interested to see how LCF goes at fullback, as I think that could be his best position.

I think a better combo than Marty Banks!

“It’s a pretty good idea having old Aaron Smith and Folau Fakatava as a 9 and 10 combo,” Hall said of the idea, which was initially floated by host Ross Karl.

“We’ve seen it [TJ Perenara has played 10 for the Hurricanes and All Blacks] and I think nobody would have thought Gilbert was going to be able to play 10, with Hunty [Mitch Hunt] being there.

“Would not be surprised if Tony Brown chucked out something, the two 9s playing 9 and 10.”

They read the fern! I suggested this before Gilbert got selected there.

Tony Brown must be thinking there is no need for a first five anymore. Aye @Bones 😀

@SouthernMann for a guy that has played NZ7s, he seems to have zero ability to beat a man, last year at least he had good leg drive and got the gain line while buying time for his support too, this year, bar maybe 1 or 2 games, he has offered buggar all going forward, and even his straight on defence has been suspect, again, somerhing that was a strength.

Damo

We better not lose this by more than 7 points.

Nepia

Who the hell is that winger?

Stargazer

Nothing clear and obvious about being in touch. It's a try.

Stargazer

@Nepia Southland player Rory van Vugt. Made his debut last week.

Damo

I think it's OK.

Didn't think so live.

nzzp

Good call.

I think the ball got down slightly before the foot - but by a fraction. Blow trying to ref that in realtime

taniwharugby

@nzzp although ref got it right in real time...but yeah he looked like he was running in concrete
