@KiwiMurph Jed Brown.
He picked up a calf injury last week too per the Stuff report.
-
Be interesting to see Matich at 7 though, he has the work rate and speed for it, just if he can adjust his game.

@taniwharugby with Gibson and Brown always injured and Choat very green Matich could see plenty of game time this year.
-
@Tim He's just a young guy, but seemed to have a nice pass on him - promising.
He was only in the Mako wider training group behind Finlay Christie and Billy Guyton - so make of that what you will - but, he got quite a lot of game time including starting the early season games and especially the opening victory over Canterbury.

I've been saying thats its his correct position at SR level for while. We might find out this year
I think he played 7 a handful of times for Auckland (mostly from the bench)? Karpik was having a great season so even then he was mostly used at 8

The Scotsman thinks so
