@muddyriver I beg to differ Auckland only finished 4th given their squad is nearly identical.

Here is the Waikato squad.

Damain McKenzie. Fucken Waikato, eh. Rocket scientists.

[Yeetyaah]

@shark they mean "Da Main McKenzie," meaning the main one as opposed to Marty. You're welcome for the Waikato translation.

[OleOleOle]

@shark ffs, hes one of their two All Blacks....you'd think they'd spell his name correctly

Or Da Man Mackenzie?

[OleOleOle]

@Crucial those exotic names are always difficult to spell

[Snowy]

I was impressed with the name " Hamilton Burr" . Which is probably a STD, but not difficult to have a guess at his nickname.

[Bovidae]

@Snowy Bloody Scots and their first names.

Yep.

He also plays for Waikato, probably picked up some disease since moving there and is surely called the "tron".

Moving to a city with the same name as you is going to attract attention.

RugbyPass understands that Lienert-Brown and McKenzie will feature for Waikato in rounds two and three of the Mitre 10 Cup, during which time a schedule of the All Blacks travel plans will be finalised.

'I was a bit nervous': All Blacks stars opens up on nerve-racking provincial return for Waikato

They may be vital members of the All Blacks, but there was an element of nervousness as Damian McKenzie and Anton Lienert-Brown took to the field for Waikato on Saturday.
