That pack should be able to hang with most packs in the comp.
It'll be interesting to see how Harbour go without Telea and Duffie out wide, because Harbour have relied a lot on their back 3 for attack over the last few years.
Yep big losses!

That’s a handy side.
Amazing what a difference to the teams with ABs available, players back from abroad and I guess less injuries after a normally long Super season. -

Walter Fifita
Not knowing him I googled Walter Fifita. He is a former counties u19 player. He has been playing in Spain for two years. 23 years old with impressive physical stats at 1.95m and 115kgs. That's Jonah proportions for a winger! Interested to see how he goes tonight marking Edit: George Bridge.

That XV is similar to ones they put out last year but weaker in the outside backs (no Mark Telea and Matt Duffie)

There are some issues in this side. Green front row reserves and a green starting TH, Cameron starting at 10 (although at least he can be replaced by the AB 10) and we're relatively weak from 12 out.
By my count, missing from last year at this stage or for the season at least are Sam Gilbert (Otago) Ngani Punivai (injured), Brayden Ennor (injured), Tim Bateman (Japan?), Patrick Osborne (Waikato), Tom Sanders (resting?), Tom Christie (resting?), Will Tucker (Otago), DLB (resting?), Oli Jager (resting?) and Brodie McAlister (?). A few to come back which is helpful, but also a lot of holes to fill.

@Crucial Obviously not good enough to warrant being granted a contract by the WRFU!
He has been connected with NH for quite a while though hasn't he? Could well have turned WRFU down. After all NH gave him his chance before them.
