That does look like Rameka Poihipi between O'Neill and Tupaea at the start of the video. I don't know who the player to the left of TTT is though.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae with the blonde dreads? Who's the dude on the right of TTT?

Yes, him.

Who's the dude on the right of TTT?

A tall, white dude. I think it must be van den Hoven.

There might be other extra players throughout the video too.

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae yeah I had a good look at the video and paused to see if I could see any other players. Also had a quick flick through the squads and couldn't find anyone of that build with dreads.

[Bovidae]

@Yeetyaah Maybe one of the CM loose forwards? @mikedogz

[mikedogz]

Blond dyed dreads would be VILIAMI TAULANI

[Yeetyaah]

Poihipi has been drafted to the chiefs, but will still play for Canterbury

A new article with the accompanying photo showing van den Hoven and Taulini. Who is that behind Taulini?

Looks like a club team - where is the official training kit?

[Bovidae]

@Gunner Saving it for tomorrow. No idea.

The mystery player could be Sefo Kautai.

[mikedogz]

@RedBeard working at Marist I see in that article.

I need a better picture to be sure, but I think that's Magpies TH prop Joe Apikotoa.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer Yeah, it's hard to see clearly. Apikotoa is tall isn't he? So is Norris for comparison.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yep, Apikotoa is really tall for a prop. Norris is 1.85m (110kg) according to his Chiefs' profile. Apikotoa is 1.91m (and approx. 120kg).

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer As you can see from the photo Norris is not 1.85 m. He's more like 1.95 m when you see him standing next to loose forwards or locks.

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yeah, might be a typo on the Chiefs' site.

Some of the player info is definitely not correct. Otherwise Norris is a young looking 51 yr old. Josh Lord too!

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae 1/01/1970 must be the default setting. All new players have that as their date of birth.

[Yeetyaah]

Last year Guzzler was listed as a halfback. I saved a screenshot of it I'll have a dig.
