@canes4life Luca Rees has been outstanding for Norths this year was kind of hoping he’d get a call up to the big time be interesting to see who the loosies are as Fifita left today for England according to his Instagram.

@bobily2 Interesting names on that list a lot of players playing out of position, also a couple of new faces, weird how some of the clubs still involved in finals have some players missing but can’t see Kemara Hauiti-Parapara in that team list or even the centurions squad.

@mikey07 I'm picking the following loose forwards - Kirifi, Smith, Delany, Savea (All Blacks), Whitman, Lakai, Halalilo, Ropeti and Ben-Nicholas (if he hasn't left NZ already).
If I had to pick a top Wellington XV right now minus All Blacks you are probably looking at something like this:
- Numia
- Thompson
- Fidow
- Blackwell
- Bird
- Delany
- Kirifi
- Ben-Nicholas
- Judd
- Morgan
- Goosen
- Umaga-Jensen
- Proctor
- Savea
- Love

@southernmann said in NPC - news, injuries etc:
As for TUJ. He would have been set to have a massive season. I just hope he doesn't bulk up again! I think 113kg is certainly enough.
What's happening with TUJ? Is he injured again?

ACL apparently

@chris shit, he has the worst luck. Is that a different injury to the one that finished his Super campaign?
The kid has spent more time on the sideline than on the field so far in his career. Hope he can turn it around.

A few players not there ,Naholo,Matele,Debreczini,Williams,Darry, Prinsep, Harmon
and a few on the bench that will probably start.I think most players, who played for the Maori ABs and national squads over the past few weeks, won't play yet this weekend. That doesn't explain all these names missing on squad lists, but quite a few.

@canes4life Is Delany any good? Not Plumtree at 6?

Maybe saving some petrol in the tank for the start of NPC,
and a chance to look at some others like Johnson and Kellow from the academy -
@canes4life TBN left on Tuesday, I haven’t heard anything about Whitman have you seen anything on him, but yes very weird a few Canes players aren’t lacing up for Wellington, I haven’t even seen Billy Proctors name on MSPs team list since the Canes finished.
