Wellington vs Counties (QF 1)
-
Based on Instagram, Wellington will be boosted by the return of Du Plessis Kirifi this week, as well as Brad Shields.
Wellington will likely also get Aumua, Proctor and Love for this game aswell so expect to see a lineup similar to the below. A much stronger side that got dismantled by Counties a few weeks ago.
- Numia
- Aumua
- Lauaki
- Delany
- Plummer
- Shields
- Kirifi
- Lakai
- Preston
- Garden-Bachop
- Clarke
- Higgins
- Proctor
- Savea
- Love
-
@Canes4life bench?

Wellington roll out the big dogs. Three current / former AB backs coming off the pine., not bad impact.
I'm glad they benched Umaga-Jensen in favour of Higgins, had to be done.
Time to get some redemption from a couple weeks ago.

Strong Wellington team. Almost perfect.
Probably a good thing Counties absolutely toweled us a few weeks back. No complacency this week I'm sure.
Close to perfect, feel for Harkin who drops out, the Lions would be even stronger if he started tbh. Shields also not there so hopefully back next week.
Interesting that Delany and Ieremia have swapped places from last week.

@Canes4life yea Harkin started would be a huge improvement, but, it just won't happen unfortunately.

Same here bro, hope the lads rip in tonight. Need to shut down Roigard though.

yup and big Hoss!

Higgins in early. Nice finish.
Well done by Aumua there. The Lions know how to use Aumua properly in those wider channels.
