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

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

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

Plummer maybe?I think Plummer might have been at the back.

@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? -

@Nogusta Strange that they wouldn't see him as a lock this season with how many backrowers we have.
Their thinking might have to change now with the injury to Scrafton.
Be interesting to see if they bring in anyone else from outside the initial squad. We'll find out tomorrow I guess. -
Lemalu would be the ideal addition if he is available. He was a bit of an unsung hero last year after we lost Scrafton for the whole season then Whetton early on. I have seen the young lock Peter Tagaloa play a couple of times for Marist and was impressed with his physicality. It's a big step up to mitre 10 though and he is still green.
I see that the USA have selected 3 hookers for their first 2 PC games but not used Mike Sosene-Feagai. He may not make the world cup if the others stay fit so may be available for Auckland again. -
@Dice had a mate who was at the game.
Faiane looked like ha hadn't skipped a beat.
Tele'a did some good things - strong carries, setup a couple of tries with good offloads, and did some ordinary things.
Manu will miss first couple of games so we'll see Faiane/Tele'a for a couple of games at least
