Yes

Bit of a shame really.
The squads we've had the past few seasons really look like they have had the potential to be at least 50/50 teams.
But same old crap.

And Mathis, that's how I wanted to play seven back in the day. Haha. Fuck that ball scavenging. Hang out in the backline!

Oli Mathis is a future all black once he puts on some size he will be a handful

He looked every bit that in this game. If the Chiefs haven't signed him....

Mathis is talented but his size could limit his aspirations. He should convert to 2nd five : he has speed to burn and good hands.

Mathis isn't going to get any taller but said himself that he is slowly putting on mass by spending more time in the gym. Remember that he is only in his first year out of school.

Adrein Wharawhara, who made his debut off the bench, is also still only 20 I think. So a good group of young loosies.

Mathis a Putaruru product by chance? Recall a Mathis playing there back in the day - would be right age to be dad.
