<p>Melani Nanai was listed on the sky broadcast as 90 cm tall and a trim 130kgs, and no caps even though he played most games last year!!</p> -
<p>that gives him a BMI of 160.5, I know athletes BMIs cant be measured like us normal folk, but I reckon thats pretty bad...</p>

<p>That would pretty much give him a subterranean centre of gravity though which is always handy in rugby</p> -

<p>One of my mates reckons Luatua is a busted flush. I'm not convinced myself - reckon he's got huge upside and could easily get back to his best. Despite his apparent defensive lapse at the weekend, I'm not writing him off yet. Ben Smith has made a lot of test players look very very average. </p>

<p>Will be an interesting season. </p> -

<p>Luatua had a good game. Couple of errors but some really good stuff too. Tana mentioned him after the game as having a good performance. Sounds like he might be off the bench this week - can cover lock, 6 or 8 so handy in that regard.</p>

<p>Yeah, weird he had a good game but is going on the bench. </p> -

<p>Wouldn't mind them all coming off the bench again. Maybe Ranger onto the wing for Nanai to stop Nadolo's threat although if Shaun Stevenson can contain him in his Super Rugby debut, Nanai can too.</p> -

<p>although that is probably more to do with Kaino coming back isnt it, would be Pryor to drop out of the match day squad.</p> -

<p>I would say it would be more likely to be Edwards. In that scenario 6 and 8 would already be covered by Luatua, Kaino and Ioane (and even Gibson), whereas Pryor provides cover for 7.</p>
