@chris think Caleb had all his covid injections I'm guessing

You maybe right I still thought you had to do MIQ for 2 weeks different rules maybe.

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

So even longer with no rugby? They don't train with the squad - fuck that sucks?

Liam Allen, Cameron Bailey, Finlay Brewis, George Bridge, Fergus Burke, Tom Christie, Sam Darry, Jack Debreczeni, Luke Donaldson, Mitchell Drummond, Mitchell Dunshea, Braydon Ennor, Chay Fihaki, Zach Gallagher, Mitchell Gibson, Cullen Grace, Billy Harmon, Oliver Jager, Jono Kitto, Shilo Klein, Daniel Lienert-Brown, Manasa Mataele, Brodie McAlister, Josh McKay, Dallas McLeod, Richie Mo’unga, Joe Moody, Waisake Naholo, Fletcher Newell, Conan O’Donnell, Rameka Pohipi, Isaiah Punivai, Ngatungane Punivai, Luke Romano, Sam Stewart, Henry Stowers, Codie Taylor, Sam Whitelock, Tamaiti Williams

1 Leinert Brown
2 McAlister
3 Williams
4 Romano
5 Darry
6 Prinsep (oddly missing from the squad list)
7 Harmon
8 Grace
9 Drummond
10 Burke

11 Mataele
14 Naholo
15 McKay

Brewis

Gallagher
Gibson or Allen
Donaldson

I Punivai

Tamaiti Williams has been playing on the LH side lately. I'll go with Jager as a TH.

@cgrant

Or Newell?

TAB have AKL $1.62 Canterbury $2.20

Home advantage I guess. Such a tough start to the comp for Auckland - 4 roudns will be decisive. Can't afford to get off to a slow start

cgrant

@gt12
Or Newell, yes.

@cgrant ekuasi at 8 wow this guy got it and kata on bench with lots of experience and lane with scrafton in second row , backline as expected no Roger yet

Tim

Duluth

Cantabs are naming their side tomorrow

As expected No Ofa T ,RTS or Clarke

Looks like a 6:2 bench.

Tim

Sione Tuipulotu covering lock.

Interesting that Auckland have already gone outside their squad for a prop.

Those odds look the wrong way around.

Pleased to see Evans at 12.

george33

@kiwimurph yes Evans great choice wydh him well

taniwharugby

I assume Auckland followed HIA protocols with Zarn after the match last week clearing him but I still cannot believe they left him out there last week.

One of the hardest head clashes I've seen in a long while

cgrant

Pretty inexperienced bench. But I am pleased with this line up with an interesting combo in midfield (Evans - Heem).
