Replace the 8 and that's a solid team.
Not sure about Jones & Aoake either
Would prefer a larger body at 6. Also Gibson's form has been uneven this NPC. Last week he missed a lot of simple tackles, but earlier in the year he won a game with his defence

Hoping Wellington name their team today. Last week they named it the day before though.
May have been awaiting a clearance of a player under a cloud.

Probably Peter Umaga-Jensen, I’d say he will be 50/50. Not the biggest loss if he can’t play because Riley Higgins has been sound in the 12 jersey.

I'll be watching W.T.F Heem in this game, because I have no idea why he is anywhere near a black jersey of any sort
Did you miss super rugby?

I missed Heem being any good.

As long as Higgins is fit to play. Otherwise savea might be moved in. Or proctor

That's strange because he was excellent for a team that made the final. Grew through the season and filled many positions.

I'm not going to disagree, just didn't stick in my mind.

Pretty much never had a bad game, bailed us out when we had injuries and had some great games. Really good two seasons in a row now.

Heem was outstanding in Super rugby playing both midfield spots and wing.

I'm not surprised but JGB again is a bummer.
It's so strange to me that after a strong season from Morgan we've switched to JGB at finals time. Looks like we're going to have to try and win a comp with a handbrake on. Hopefully the strength elsewhere can cover for him.

Surprising when the Canes have let him go and kept Morgan yet Wellington have a different take on it.

JGB aside, that's a strong side and we should be overwhelming favourites on Friday.
They need to inject Morgan on earlier, JGB was good in the first half but struggled to keep up when the game opened up in the second.
