Counties Manukau v Wellington

[Higgins]

Goodness, how things change. When was the last time Eastbourne RFC (Sam Lousi and Chris Baumann) had more players in Wellington's starting lineup than the likes of traditional powerhouses Petone (Brad Shields) and Marist-Saint Patricks (Vince Sakaria)? These latter two clubs are not represented on the bench either.

Did either of the two play any games for Eastbourne?

Did either of the two

The last time Wellington had someone looking like Chris Baumann ( circa 1986 ) they won the title so this has to be a good thing. Could do with a few more pies to pad the midriff and have that real old school look though......

@MN5 Baumann is from the US but I was very impressed with his mullet when watching some of the Welly-NH game.

[MN5]

@Bovidae Yeah I can easily picture him playing College football, chugging a few buds and picking on Nerds now you mention it.

@hydro11 They might have struggled to sneak in under 85kg...

I'm interested in Wingers take on the lack of Upper Hutt representation. Conspiracy or not?

[Crucial]

Cool. Just discovered this is being shown live on SkySports UK. I will be working but will endeavour to avoid the score until getting home with a few beers and watch the recording

He will be fitter if nothing else!

[Wreck Diver]

I thought that it was illegal to jump a tackle

[mimic]

Watching too much NFL

[mimic]

Pulu's had a good game since my first post..

Counties players are dropping like flies now..

[Duluth]

I know this won't be a popular opinion - but I actually enjoy Willie Lose as a play by play commentator.

[mimic]

Willie needs to learn how to say Fa'aso'o's name though

[Stockcar86]

Good pressure kick by Garden-Bachop to win it for Wellington on full time

[Duluth]

Hika is an idiot

[African Monkey]

@Duluth Seriously wtf was he doing
