By the way Brodie’s shoulder looks good pushing the pram and holding the kid

And another try down that left hand side for the Orcs. The reserve halfback with all the blonde tips in his hair.

Some nice hands from Rayasi.

That'd be Danny Tusitala

He’s playing out on the wing now?

[KiwiMurph]

Any idea who is at 15 if Rayasi is on the wing?

[Stargazer]

[Nogusta]

@KiwiMurph they mightve gone with Leuila who played a little bit there last week against Naki?
Plummer maybe?

[Nogusta]

@ACT-Crusader lol.....yea he played quite a bit of wing for Ponsonby this year

[Nogusta]

33-14 final score

[Nogusta]

@KiwiMurph actually that Heatherly is a fullback/wing

He’s got quick feet, but looks a little small out there.

[KiwiMurph]

@ACT-Crusader He's played a lot of 7s for Samoa the last couple of years.

I think Plummer might have been at the back.

Shit. Locking depth is way down compared to last year

[Nogusta]

@Duluth yea thats a huuuge loss....
That just leaves Whetton and Jamie Lane as front line locks. The only other lock in the squad is newcomer Peter Tagaloa

[KiwiMurph]

@Nogusta suafoa?

[Nogusta]

@KiwiMurph I think Auckland see him as a bona-fide 6.
Didnt okay any minutes at lock in the preseason.
Maybe Lyndon Dunshea can play there?

[Tim]

Send out an SOS to Lemalu?

[Dice]

@Nogusta Strange that they wouldn't see him as a lock this season with how many backrowers we have. I can't see Suafoa getting many minutes at 6 this season. He and Dunshea should share back-up lock duties.
