@sneakdefreak glad that worked out well for the warriors! Bully to have a massive 2019 as he should be highly motivated now!!
-
@paekakboyz Gives the Warriors one more year to prepare either Nathaniel Roache or Karl Lawton for the role too.

Kiwis team to play Australia: Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (c), Ken Maumalo, Esan Marsters, Joseph Manu, Jordan Rapana, Shaun Johnson, Kodi Nikorima, Jesse Bromwich, Brandon Smith, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Kevin Proctor, Isaac Liu, James Fisher-Harris. Interchange: Kenny Bromwich, Leeson Ah Mau, Martin Taupau, Adam Blair, Peta Hiku, Jahrome Hughes
I'm no expert on the sport so can someone tell me what's so special about Kenny Bromwich? He seems really underwhelming to me.

Think of him as the not as good Whitelock or Barrett - he has the last name Bromwich.
Interesting to see Smith get the start and Hughes on the bench (or not on the bench). Even more interesting is the choice of captain. Here DWZ you're fully replacing RTS, you've both got two dads, you're the fullback, so you may as well be the captain as well.

Surprised to see Maumalo ahead of Isaako, although I'm not sure what wing the latter plays on. At least Maumalo should get more ball.
Yeah, I'm not sure that I really see Maumalo as a test wing (for the Kiwis as opposed to Samoa). He has his strengths, just not sure they're whats needed. Is Isaako injured? Otherwise there's no reason not to select him. The Kiwis shouldn't need Ken to be an extra prop like the Warriors do with the actual props they have.

Looked like it was on purpose to me - from that clip TR posted.

Definitely on purpose. Getting the offload was also impressive.

Sheesh, training run try for the Kangas.

Far out our defensive line is just waiting for the Aussies to run 10 before we tackle.
