Wellington vs Southland
-
Gunning for their 25th win out of their last 27 games, the Lions will be rolling into this game with plenty of momentum. Southland have looked strong in periods this year so it will be another tough challenge but I feel we'll likely look to rotate the squad a little as this game will be the beginning of our storm week.
I reckon those that have played every game will likely drop out or drop to the bench. I think we'll see something like the below.
- Sheck
- Press
- Lauaki
- Delany
- Paulo
- Ropeti
- Halalilo
- Shields (c)
- Preston
- Harkin
- Patafilo
- Higgins
- Proctor
- Savea
- Clarke
- Poasa
- Numia
- Chrichton
- Ieremia
- Lakai
- McLeod
- Garden-Bachop
- Solomon
Rested: Umaga-Jensen, Plummer
Benched: Numia, Lakai -
Sione halalilo has looked very impressive!
Looks like he has a bright future ahead of him -
@family-man he's definitely a similar mould to a young Ardie, not the biggest at all but very effective. Hopefully he fills out a bit. With Kirifi getting injured he'll likely push his case for that Hurricanes spot with Ardie moving on. I'm sure there will be others around the country that will be doing the same.
