The Silver Fern

Just heard some information from a different source than usual so take it for what it’s worth. I asked if Thomas Umaga Jenson and Tanielu Tele’a had been re-signed for next season and he said he believed they both were.

(I didn’t bother asking about a promised bench spot).

@barbarian said in England vs. Australia (2024):

No I think Kerevi on the bench. Ikitau at 13, not 14.

According to Christy Doran, who's usually on the money, Suaalii will start at 13 but, sensibly, will defend at inside centre. Ikitau will wear 12.
