I am not familiar with the Taranaki squad, but is it a surprise that Perofeta is at 15? From an AB perspective I was hoping to see him at 10.
@Crazy-Horse Perofeta playing at fullback is no surprise at all. He can play both well at 10 and fullback, but played 9 of last year's 10 games for Taranaki in the 15 jersey. The year before, he played 8 of 9 games at 10.

Yeah I know Perofeta plays 15 a fair bit. I was expecting/hoping he would be playing 10. I was curious to see if his Super form at 15 could be translated to 10.
Taranaki must have serious injuries as Lennox is also a halfback, so two of them in the reserves. JRK is missing again.
@Bovidae Taranaki is very good at posting injury updates:
:
Kini Naholo (hamstring) - Week to week
Jacob Ratumaitavuki-Kneepkens (ankle) - Week to week
Stan van den Hoven (knee) - Season
Matty McKenzie (hamstring) - Week to week
Josh Setu (concussion) - Week to week
Tom Florence (knee) - 2 - 4 weeks
Nathaniel Peters (hamstring) - Week to week
Daniel Waite (bicep) - 2 - 3 weeks
Goodness, that looks like a no arms shoulder charge penalty coming up against the Ta$man player on the right.
