@taniwharugby said in Northland v Auckland:

If RTS has been released then surely Ofa should be?

Not necessarily. Ofa is probably one rolled ankle in warmup away from playing in the Test

Could be Angus released and not Ofa

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth nah, they should keep Angus

[J77]

@Duluth yeaaah naaah Angus can stay..although to be fair I wouldnt blame any All Black for wanting to get back to their provinces at the moment.

Big Red to come trundling on in the second half for the WIN!

@Steven-Harris jeez, look at those unavailable....

That said, pretty solid team they've named, with one exception, they just need to stand up now and keep thier momentum going.

Robinson covering lock

Hawkins out of the 23 and not listed as injured.

[J77]

@Duluth Hawkins will be suspended for his high shot last week

[taniwharugby]

@Duluth yeah it should be 3 weeks, but given he was banned for 3 weeks for exact same offence he probably should get longer.

[taniwharugby]

Not sure why Northland have been releasing these well after the team sheet

[Tim]

A late change has meant @aurfc Prop Sam Lester will come into the team for Jordan Lay against Northland tomorrow.

Sam will be in line for his debut in the Blue and White Hoops 🔵⚪🐍

Anyone got any idea of where to watch this near Tullamarine (Melbourne) Airport? Fly in there not too long before the game is due to start.

It's going to be tough as the game will be on Stan Sport which isn't shown in many pubs, let alone the NPC on Stan Sport.

Your best bet is probably to sign up to Stan free trial (30 days) + stan sport free trial (7 days) and watch it on a phone / tablet / laptop if you have access to decent Wifi? You could also watch the game on demand later via that option.

Otherwise - try your luck here: https://www.fanzo.com/en-au/bars-and-pubs-showing-stan-sport/7124?channels=1443

@KiwiMurph great, thanks very much for that

[KiwiMurph]

Good start to the game.

Northland's defence this year is excellent.

[Duluth]

Great kick
