Soutland (extended) squad for the preseason game against Otago:

and Otagos teams for this game

Freedom getting a full game, glad to see hes back firing,
Faddes at 15, hopefully he hasn;t lost too much pace,
Gilbert at 10, we've talked about it but good to see them try it out
Sio at 13, normally a 12 or 14, another we change for him
big super names still being rested

[Bovidae]

So Tau Kolomatangi is now in Otago. That guy gets around.

[Kiwiwomble]

@bovidae he wasn't listed in the squad so assume its just a training with the squad deal, whilst super guys are resting

I'm happy it looks like Ray Nu'u is being given a good chance to stamp his mark on the 12 jersey.

The backs look really sharp. Just a shame about Thomas Umaga-Jensen. Such a talent

Front row is quite weak with our first stringers out.

@southernmann haven't heard anything about CGB but I expect him to be named in the squad. Same with his bro.

I though JGB was done for the whole season

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 Yep. Ruled out for approx. 9 months (so until Dec 2021).

[mikey07]

@stargazer Wohoo!

[Stargazer]

@bobily2 Where did you find that Wellington team line-up? I don't see it anywhere on their social media.

[Kiwiwomble]

@stargazer looks like its on their Insta

[Stargazer]

@kiwiwomble I only see the list of their Centurion Squad on instagram.

[Kiwiwomble]

@stargazer sorry, thought thats the one you meant, had missed the other

[Canes4life]

@stargazer looks like it has been removed, it was on there last night. Strange.

[Canes4life]

@bovidae if they can get two tests in that would be great news. Wouldn't mind seeing a full NPC with All Blacks though, it would be quite refreshing.
