I recognize 21/23 of the names....only the starting 9 and Kautai I haven't seen before.
You didn't watch the NZ U20s last year? Kautai was the starting TH prop.
The only players I hadn't heard of before in this 23 prior this season were Alaimalo, Nankivell and Taumateine.
Alex Nankivell is the big Ta$man 2nd Five who did so well in the last Mitre 10 Cup.
Kautai is a beast. At only 20, he has a bright future in front of him. -

Cruden is the backup halfback for this game.
Cane at no.8 is an interesting move. He's finished games there regularly in the past so it's not a new position but they could have played Sanders there too.
Funny how our AB number one and two opensides have been dabbling at eight which is where their captain plays.

Not true. Todd has only played at 7 this season....

As I said above, most of them seemed to be scrum penalties, which in my eyes the ref was guessing....

Lovely touch by Dmac
Thought they made hard work of it initially...with long throw at LO -

@Gunner pretty sure they are one of the most, if not the most penalised team this year. But your point on scrum interpretation is valid far to often...especially for any team playing in aussie
