@stargazer I wonder if this is a pointer that Toala might get some runs at fullback this year?
Thankfully, it looks like we're not going to bring Kurt Koro Baker this year.

@nepia Kurt Baker is at the Olympics; fingers crossed that means indeed that he won't come back.
I think Toala will cover fullback as injury cover, with both Falcon and Makene apparently still not fit. A few months ago, they said that Makene was expected to be available from round 2-3. Don't know about Falcon.
Lolagi Visinia plays fullback, too, so fortunately there's more cover. I'm more worried about 10 cover; probably also Toala and Ili.

@bovidae Their ground is too small, I think. They're expecting a crowd of 3 to 5k. I also don't know what state the pitch is in after the recent rainfall.
They'd fit that number of people in. Just don't expect to be seated.

Worry no more. I am up home at the moment and will be taking my boots (and mouthguard) to the game with me just in case of a late call up!

Being so excited about today I could hardly sleep last night with excitement and woke very early this morning. Higgins' first ever appearance at a home Shield defence as was simply too young to be taken to those of the 1960s (was old enough to be at the 1971 HB v British Lions game though). Kind of like Christmas as a young 6 year old kid and being allowed to stay overnight at your girlfriends place for the first time when you were 17 all wrapped up in one!!!!!!!
It's pretty chilly here in Napier this morning and very cloudy so if anyone is coming from out of town for the game they had better bring proper winter warm clothing and not just HB winter warm clothing.

Match highlight already - great simultaneous Haka with NPEC on the charge to set the tone. Go the Coast !
-
I'm liking Enari's pass so far
-
The Bay going at a run a minute but the Coast just scored a try. Give them the shield now!

@nepia Its live on sky 52 now!

I second that. Also an elusive runner. A big step up from McLeod.

Even though my TV has decided my Apple TV is Sky NZ (it's very strange), we don't actually get Sky in Oz.
If I could watch it on Sky I'd be at the ground.
