Wellington v Waikato (RS)
-
@Winger I'd literally have any one but JGB at 10 to be honest.
Last year against Ta$man, chip kick inside our 22 when we need to score.
This year against BOP - we're ahead and just need to phase and kick it out. Tries a dropkick.
Doesn't have the head for it unfortunately.

Great opportunity for Riley Higgins.

Wellington named, same 15 as last week except Higgins for PUJ.
Anyone know the status of PUJ injury?
@Higgins is getting a bit old to turn out isn’t he?
I would never contemplate prostituting myself that low. Bad enough having two whangai playing a game or two for them, fortunately neither of them ever being in a team that beat The Bay in proper rugby (15s) thankfully (one lost a couple of times though!) although there might have been one instance of it happening in the Central Region 7s warm up tournament where The Bay and Wgtn both fielded two teams for some reason many years ago.

Agree. He's looked good so far though but this is his biggest game.

@Winger he will be eyeing a Hurricanes contract so will want to make a statement.

I will watch him closely. I see him as potentially better than PUJ. But haven't seen enough of him yet

A red instead of a yellow?

Have Waikato named their side yet? Talk about delayed.

The team will be named today, and has always been announced the day before the game.
-
@Bovidae maybe by Waikato standards. Most professional outfits name their team on Thursday if they are playing Saturday.

@Canes4life You've missed our discussions about team releases during the NPC season.
-
@Canes4life I think you're overly optimistic with "most". Hawke's Bay named their team this morning and we're still waiting for Waikato, Northland, Bay of Plenty. So half of the provinces didn't.
