Blues v Sharks

@kiwimurph his physicality is something I thought improved last NPC, our lineout was always better when he was there, didn't he captain the dev side earlier this year too?
But then this is a kid who turned down a Super rugby and NPC contract as he didn't feel he was upto it a few years ago, so seems to have his head screwed on, he just needs to take his chances now.

@no-quarter He and Duffie are having one of their two rest weeks.

With Jordie fit again, and NMS still to come back, I don't see Duffie getting close to the AB's this year
-
@stockcar86 Duffie hasn't reached his 2017 form yet either. Plenty of time left in the season but he's had a slowish start.

@tim Rieko has played 12 before - he played 12 for NZ Schoolboys iirc.
Really looking forward to seeing how 9 and 10 go.
Other than Pryor there isn't a lot of impact on that bench. Apisai keeps getting chances despite being poor every time he has appeared this season......
Sio Tomkinson was at 12 for NZ Schools, Rieko was at centre.
He has played a bit of 12 before though. He played a season for Grammar at 12 when he was 5th form, but moved out to centre after that year, so he does have some experience there, but it's been awhile. I think he'll go OK there because he has all the tools for the position, but ideally you want him out on the edges because of his pace and ability in space.
Please tell me you're not serious about that...

"We've been training him there for the last three or four weeks because of the skills he has. He's got a very good pass; he's a good communicator, defender and he wants to play in the midfield," Umaga said of Ioane.
"We've talked through the role and what it consists. It's not just something that's started this week. He loves a challenge and it's a good one for him."

Thank fuck for Perofeta or we'd probably see him at 10 before long.

when that happens you would normally assume some kind of breach of team rules??
If he has a niggle, better off starting and getting the most of him than benching in case Nock then injures himself and he is forced on.
