Bay of Plenty v Wellington

Are the Umuga-Jensens injured (again) or not developing as fast as I hoped?

Thomas U-J, no idea, but Peter is not even in the 2017 Lions squad due to injury.

Crikey that Aumua kid looks good. He's going out with my mates fiancees daughter so I got to meet him on a wine trail a few weekends back. Bloody nice fella. Not quite up there with @jegga s breakfast with the ABs but if he makes the team then I'll definitely have a great yarn to embellish the shit out of as the years go by.

didnt see a foot out there...

@pukunui agree. as long as his throwing is up to scratch he is a great bench option. i think you can get away with (what i assume is) his relative lack of scrummaging/tight power late in the game against tiring and/or 2nd string opposition front rows.
and that explosive running will wreak absolute havoc against NH fatties. -
@Stargazer thanks mate. They were spoken about on here a couple of years ago but I am hearing their names less and less now. Amazed they are still so bloody young.

Another very good performance by Wellington
The Lousi, Walker-Leawere locking combination was great. I can see this as a starting combination for the Canes (hopefully the Canes have already signed IWL). It was a big, powerful combination that the Canes have lacked for years. Fifita looked right at home at 6 too. He's bulkedup and needs to focus now on this position
Another player that I've been impressed with is Goosen. I still think his best position will be 2nd 5 (and hope he gets some game time there) but he's very good at center.
