There is really no other option for 15 at the moment with Duffie, Trainor and Perofeta all injured.
Very happy to see Ruru at 9.
Hopefully the starting front row does not get munched.
Very excited to see how the Blues look under the new coaches.
Nanai. And find another winger.
-
Speaking of fullbacks though, I really can't wait to see Will Jordan at this level. Looks like he's probably covering the back three and his buddy Havili'i will have to move into midfield in the event of injury. We look a little thin on cover from 12 out.

Nanai plays much better on wing, and deserves a run of games in his preferred position. Better for the team to get him up his full potential, he was huge for Auckland.
-
Yeah Nanai isn't a serious option for fullback anymore. He was OK there at NPC level a few years ago, but he doesn't really play there anymore
For example, last year Auckland used Trainor, Umaga and Rayasi at fullback but kept Nanai on the wing

Fox Sports hyping the Blues before the game has started. At this rate the season will be a failure if they're scored against.
-
Franks a mile offside at every ruck.
-
Nanai saves a certain try.
-
@antipodean Yeah, great desperation tackle.
-
Ruru taking lessons from Hammington on clearing kicks...
-
Collins fucks up early. Mataele scores.
-
Was a mis directed kick too, and let them off the hook
