Auckland v Canterbury

[KiwiMurph]

That's a strong potential Canterbury lineup.

Weather for Sunday doesn't look great although being Auckland that forecast can change very quickly.

Should have a very strong forward pack this year.

Wonder how much Moli will play for Ta$man?

Who the fuck knows but not selected in the AB's quoted in press release as injured. As pasted below.
Maybe Foster is such a fucking idiot he fucks up.

"Moody and Ofa Tuungafasi weren’t considered for selection as they return from injuries, while the selectors have also taken a considered approach with outside back Will Jordan’s return from a slight hamstring strain"

Yeah two weeks MIQ, jabbed or not. You can still carry it when jabbed, so no way are we letting anyone straight into general population with our low vaccination rate
