So why isn't SBW playing in the Counties competition? The article says that he made the approach to play for Ponsonby.
I presume he didn't rate the quality of games?

I didn't know Auckland had a club rugby podcast.

So what's the likely XXIII for Auckland this year? I'm assuming that Nanai, Ioane, Fukofuka, Lemalu, Tuipulotu, Olmstead, Abel, and Sam Prattleyβββββββ are unavailable.

Teleni Seu is with Waikato this season. Jarrod Adams and Jamie Lane would make the bench for me. Adams is playing tight head for his club this season so he may be good to cover both sides.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy I thought Lindenmuth looked pretty good in his start for the Blues.
-
I wonder who else is around for the 'stacked midfield'? Is Vince Aso returning from his injury. I know Viliami Lolohea is playing for Papatoetoe this season.
-
@Daffy-Jaffy Hopefully not. He plays like he's too good for everyone when he comes to Auckland. He does his own thing and tries stupid miracle plays as if he's trying to put together a highlights reel or something. He was one of our worst culprits in 2016-2017.

Ponsonby players that were involved in the preseason game for Auckland this week.
Rilloy Suesue
Sam Ulufonua
Danny Tusitala
Jamie Lane
Paul Roache
Waimana R.K.
Freedom Vaha'akolo
Jonah Ma'u
Aleks Dabek
Of these guys I only see Lane, Riedilnger-Kapa and maybe Vaha'akolo making the final squad. -
@Daffy-Jaffy I imagine Lemeki Namoa is another midfield option

Picture of Gribbley in the background makes me all nostalgic.
