Hmmm - even though Campbell Parata made that kick, Willie Havili is a huge loss. He's been having a great season and he's a significantly better player than Campbell.

Getting the other two Havilis back - Sione and Dave is a gain - but, Razor has gifted Wellington more - which I'm not that impressed about - even though we don't really need Hotham - we have two good halfbacks.

Really would have liked Max Hicks to be fit for this one.

Bit of a silly decision not to release Hotham really as he has had no game time for virtually a month. If he is suddenly thrown into the Bledisloe due to an injury then he's going to be under done.

Lol check out these teams for the Shield match between these two sides in 2008.

Harsh on Harkin who's been brilliant. But am I surprised? No. Unfortunately not.

I guess Love is cover for 10 so they don’t need an extra 10 on the bench. It should be JGB that misses out though. Harkin should be starting.

[foobaNZ]

@Canes4life yup. He should be at 10.

[Darren]

Been very impressed with Harkin, is he signed to the Canes? Shame he is missing out.
And Savea at 14, can't we just be done with him.

Ta$man with equal amount of HOBM players. Quelle surprising

[cgrant]

Caleb Delaney with the Nr.6 jersey, his best position IMO, the one which could (should ?) lead him to higher honours.

[Bones]

Keen to hear how Delaney goes at 6, hopefully gets some mongrel on. Not broadcast here so keep us updated @Canes4life

I’ve got my daughter’s birthday party at the Pav with no coverage so will provide feedback albeit delayed. 👍

I'll let it slide this once.

[Duluth]

Strange injured in the first few minutes

[KiwiMurph]

Great Ta$man try

Came from a poor error from Love.

[Canes4life]

JGB just kicking all the ball away. Keep it in hand ffs

[Canes4life]

I have to watch the rest later damnit.

[KiwiMurph]

How slow is Savea haha
