Yes boys. Bring back Aiden Morgan next week please.
JGB was ok. He played well enough. HB came back and played very well in the 2nd half
But I would start Morgan but JGB will likely start. I was hoping nh won as Auckland scrum will be likely fat too good. Hope not though
Morgan is so much better at setting our backline away though. His passing is flatter and faster, and he’s better tactically. The only thing JGB has over him atm is a better boot, which he uses far too much I might add. I just don’t know why we had to move away from what was working so well for us.
I’m glad we won ugly in the end because we deserve to go deep into the competition and that will be the wake up call we need going into next week.

I'm glad we got up, but we will have to be a lot better next week.
We will but at least the competition you could argue will be easier than this week.

Ta’avao won’t be there, hopefully we get Cowan back. We may also lose Aumua if he’s selected for the end of year tour.

Hope so re Cowan. Hope not re Aumua. Although he deserves an AB call up on form but Wellington need him

Yea losing Aumua would really damage our chances, even more so if O'Reilly is out for an extended period.
I suppose if Aumua goes, then maybe it would be for Coles? Although I'd have Samisoni, Aumua and Coles if I had to take 3.
Better for Wellington though that Aumua and Coles both aren't selected. We'd need one of them.
Today's performance was pretty bad I thought. We were lucky Hawke's Bay were off their game.
Our pack looked a bit gassed. I have noticed we don't use our bench as much as other teams so it may be taking it's toll.
Auckland are going to be tough.

@foobaNZ Starting Morgan is a must for a start yeah I totally agree with you about the pack looking toast which is weird considering most of them were rested last week
I only saw the highlights but JGB looked to have a strong hand in many of the lions points. Was the rest that bad?

I thought he had a good game. But kicked too much. But after being rubbish during super rugby and until CM he's been so much better
