Will be interesting to see who of Kellow and Segner makes it through to the Crusaders squad proper, if both hang about
Kellow looks a better prospect than Christie, IMO.
I don't neccessarily disagree, but one good game off the bench at NPC level isn't much of a gauge from which to form that opinion. Christie is a great defensive openside flanker but offers little as a link man or wrecking ball. Bit like Sam Cane.

Kellow looks like Richie McCaw at the same age. We can only hope he will follow the same path. He is still very young.Yep I agree, He does some special things for a 19 year old in one of the hardest positions in rugby.

I was expecting a monster after reading some of the comments on him but he didn't look any bigger than Jacobsen tbh.

He is rather big for an openside. But not as big as Dalton Papalii though. It looks like he has the same size as Richie McCaw in his early twenties.Isn't he a no 8?
Kellow is a 7

Thought we were talking about the Auckland no 8.

Willie lose said during game ekuasi was 1.9metres so 6ft .3 so that pretty tall he only 19
It would be interesting to see an accurate height for Ekuasi. I've seen him listed as 1.83 m which looked about right for me compared to other players in his team.
Lose's facts are usually wrong.

1,90 m is not very tall for a Nr. 8, just adequate.
He ain't finished growing yet, by all means write him off at 19. Meanwhile, Canterbury fans are comparing some kid to McCaw....
