Ofa (correct! well done! ), Tamoaieta, Mafileo then Renata

IIRC, Mafileo has been injured up until now, so Tamoaieta gets in by default.

@centreman

Any news on his progress as the silence is deafening!

Dane Coles is expected to be out until June. That was from an article during the pre season

[Stargazer]

I find this quite funny.

May isn't fat, he has abs for fucks sake. Don't trust a prop with abs.

And once again I am forced to reflect upon how much of a pussy I am. I can't believe how tough some of these roosters are. I'd probably still be crying.

In comparison to that roly poly front rower heres a pic of a sleek, trim, agile first five from recent memory.

@sammyc doing my best to steer clear but encumbered by a Canes fan better half.

She's not Mexican. 😊

I talked to a team doctor a while back. He said players run from baby to hard as nails. But he also said you couldn't tell by looking at them, position or reputation.

Some "hard men" props see a needle and faint. Some first-fives don't want anaesthetic for stitches because they want to get back out immediately.

Hurricanes line-up looks good. Proctor at 13 and JB at 15 is a good start

[No Quarter]

Good first touch from the Bus.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Canes looking slick as. Great stuff with that Barrett bros on each side. Hope I'm not getting ahead of myself.

Crotty off is a big blow

[No Quarter]

Yup Barrett brothers looking sharp.

Saders getting pinged off the park at the moment.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Somebody's got a rocket up Julian S. He's looking terrific.
