    @Bovidae Hopefully not a 12!

    But I guess he will get time at 13.

    @Tim Stuff seems to be suggesting that McDonald has indicated a switch of position.

    Clearly spent too much time listening to Tana 🙂

    Seriously, though, whatevrer works for the player. If he thinks his career is at 13, who am I to disagree. Tana did it and nailed it. It still feels a bit weird, mind

    @nzzp this could revive Rieko’s career and give him a new focus having to learn a position that if he gets right..anything’s possible

    Heighton is an interesting selection. Is he there as a 9 or a 10?

    Utility, 10 & 15 on the Blues website

    Also called an “early season replacement”

    He was pretty good for BOP after a very serious injury. I was hoping he made it

    On Breakdown it seemed to be player led.

    I'm amused; last season we had five 12s. Now we have one. FFS, Leon, I hope you know what you're doing. Benefit of doubt at this stage...

    Yeah, I'm happy he's back just surprised didn't know he was being looked at. Hope he comes back to Auckland too.

    Thoughts. Picking 6 locks might mean C/T getting time at 6? Rapt for the hard working Tucker. In regards to only 1 recognised 12 picked, they may push Plummer out to cover there with plenty of 10 cover. He has the right game to play there. Page is a good player who is hopefully over his injuries but i feel for Trainor. Some of us might be judging Lamborn a bit early, he was really good for the U.S at the W.C. seems to have bulked up somewhat. Happy with the hookers, i thought they might stay with Apisai. I know nothing about Heighton, have never seen him play but he was training with them all last season so he must be a prospect.

    @Steven-Harris Interesting that they rate him ahead of Lewis Gjaltema.

    Rieko played his schoolboy rugby at 13. IIRC, he didn't play wing until he made the ABs.

    @mimic oh right, who knew! Did he not play for Auckland or the blues before that?

    If he nails centre he would be very handy on the bench at test level.
