Thats 12 changes from Friday.
Nabura has been playing for East Coast, but plays for Kerikeri, was disappointed he wasnt picked up last year, didnt see much of KK this year to know what his form had been like.
Nankivell is a 10, but he has played 12 and 15, is a good size and pace, with a good kick and not afraid to run it.
SOme experience sprinkled across the team, but plenty inexperienced, will be interesting.

I think a few people on here rated him when he was a winger years ago?
The only thing I recall about him is the red card for raising a leg taking a high ball

We last played Waikato in Waikato in 2018, going down 48-26 (Championship semi) and we have won only once in Waikato, back in 2012; 29-12, average scoreline has always been a comfortable win to Waikato 40-21, cant see tomorrow being any different.

I'd love to throw a few to #2 now and again

was Nichols in front of the kick? I'll take it
