best set of bench forwards in the comp?
If only Blake Gibson was on that bench it would be...

@nzzp one of those guys who played NPC good enough to be deserving of a super rugby spot, but was then found it was a bit beyond him, but problem I see in these cases, is where they take a punt on a player but sign them up for a multi year deal rather than a year with option to extend.
Surprised the mention of his name hasnt triggered someone yet...

Christ, seeing Hadleigh Parkes doing well at the weekend at the 6N made my head spin a bit. Was an honest trier here, but didn't seem to have anything special to stand out at Super, or go to the next level. He and Anscombe looking good is a sign that they like that structured game.
Here's hoping the ABs are genuinely keeping their powder dry to clinically disembowel all teams that come before them. Not really sure it'll happen, though

I'd subscribe more heavily to that theory if at stages they had shown an ability to momentarily take their game to another level when required.

Gibson was understandably a bit off the pace in his 50mins against the Sunwolves. Hopefully we can get a good hour out of him now
He should be better for the run, but he just needs to be accurate than Dalton.
I want to see us start using Akira off the base in this game. Hunt had a nightmare game trying to tackle him during the NPC
This is a really important game for Nonu's season..
His benefit may just be developing TJ off the field.

@taniwharugby Matt Moulds has been released to play for his club Otamatea this weekend,so he’s definitely not injured.
Really feel for the guy,why the hell pick a guy if you are never gonna use him..?,can’t see Apisai getting much game time off the bench against the Highlanders either.. -
Props Ofa Tuungafasi and Tu'inukuafe (who will swap roles this week off the bench as part of the plan to develop their ability to cover both sides)

@Steven-Harris
No one would have a real problem with this situation if Parsons was performing but you can’t create real competition for his position if you don’t let anyone else play it. Sad really Parsons deserves a break too, he looked stuffed. -
