    Anyone know much about the two Rifles props?

    I saw an article saying they were close to selection last year but existing contracts meant there was no room

    Also, I'm kind of surprised that neither fullback from the club final was picked. Both were standouts.

    Broc Hooper is a 10 and 15 (St Kents) who played for NZ Schools, and has been through the Canterbury system.

    Both Hooper and Costa played for Auckland B last year.

    @booboo Well, he's only listed as unavailable for that tour, so he may wind up in the B's.

    There's also something wrong with the photo in that article ... there's grass on Gribblehirst

    @Duluth Looks like Emersen Tamura-Paki played for Panasonic Wild Knights in Japan when he was 19, and has been in Auckland B and Blues Dev squads. He'll be 22 in August. plays loosehead, may have Japanese heritage. Expressed desire to play for Japan last year.

    All I can find on Dexter Fa'amoana is that he's 23, was in Auckland B last year, and went through the International Rugby Academy of New Zealand's High Performance Players Course this year. Plays tighthead.

    EDIT: In 2016, College Rifles had Tamura-Paki at 184 cm/113 kg, and Fa'amoana at 190 cm/128 kg.
