Auckland v Tasman

@Stargazer I do rate Havili and yes, he's allowed a bad game, but he's just one of those unfortunate people who has other people in his way,

If he moved to 12 I think he’d cruise into the ABs, his kicking game would be very useful.
He will never be back as a 15.

I picked a good game to go see live, beautiful day and got to see Ta$man completely dominated.
The forwards really delivered today, defence was super organised and at something like 31-0 you see the intensity drop (and the long break for that awful injury).
Score line massively flattered Ta$man.
Plummer, Ruru, Sullivan all had good games. So many big hits out there, crowd was having a ball.
Double cross kick was a fun try, amazing handling skills.

@Kirwan Pretty hard to pick him as a 12 though when he never plays there at SR level. Maybe he'll see more time there next year with Ennor injured? The Crusaders don't have a hell of a lot of options there and MacLeod looks average from what I've seen of him so far.

Yeah he needs to move positions at SR level.

Havili runs sideways too much for my liking at
12. Get rid of that habit and he might be handy at the highest level. -
Just watched the first half. One of those pleasant experiences where you can't tell who played well in the forwards because the whole pack is nailing their roles.
Thought Adams made a difference at the scrum when he came on. Get that man a Super Rugby contract.

@Stargazer You're not a fan, but Akira was easily one of the top two 8's in the country for two years and was overlooked and it appeared to impact him mentally. At least Havilli has actually been selected for tests. Havilli should be fine, he may have made the squad if he wasn't injured.
