    @Duluth I hope so ... I like the look of Hemopo more so than the Tongan. Request from the AB selectors maybe?

    @Nepia probably makes sense when you have a lock that big! Geez, where did he come from? Although does that mean Squire to 8? I can't see that happening, which would probably mean him and Tongan on the bench.

    Like many of @Chris-B's Ta$man-ians he's another North Island poach.

    Yeah, I assume Squire is number 1 still and Hemopo will be the back up.

    @Bones We do not discriminate in Ta$man. We do not say, "he is from Auckland and therefore a worthless fellow". We make concessions for the disadvantaged and give opportunities.

    We are a charitable people.

    We send missionaries to the unenlightened, even though they are regularly faced with heathen ingratitude.

    We do our best to raise others toward our standards - as best as they are able!

    You sent Ben Franks to us as a thug and we tried our best to temper his thuggishness, but alas it was too ingrained.

    @Nepia He went to high school in Christchurch, in the Eastern Suburbs.

    It's very hard to come back from that! 🙂

    Ta$man, Canterbury, Crusaders - all the same isn't it. 😉

    @African-Monkey Home of those bastards at the East-Christchurch Shirley Cricket Club? 🙂

    I did several years of missionary service in Breezes Road!

    Itll be really interesting to see how the Highlanders juggle their loose forwards this year, when at or near full strength.

    No, of course, but I think Liam Squire will be the starter with the "6" jersey. Hemopo, who can cover lock and 6, is a perfect player for the bench. However, maybe there won't be a typical XV but a rotation with the likes of Dixon, Frizell and Lentjes who are not far behind in terms of talent.
    The XV I wrote in my earlier post was what I think that could be the probable XV.
    My personal team is :

    Lienert-Brown
    Coltman
    Lomax
    Hemopo
    Parkinson
    Squire
    Lentjes
    Whitelock
    Smith
    Banks
    Mackay
    Buckman
    Thompson
    Naholo
    Smith

    @mariner4life Not quite as unholy as these fuckers.

    And you can bet the junior Nepia was into it boots and all - running round with one of those orange and white Cully 13 jerseys on his schoolboy back!
