@Rapido Thanks - I know nothing about Coxon, but we need him to be good. It's been very handy having four of the better NPC props as a rotation, so we'll miss Geldenhuys. Be handy if Coxon or Hill can at least hold up the scrum competently from the subs bench.
Google has told me that Levi Aumua is a 120kg centre who comes via Queensland and Bordeaux.

He'll be handy if he's like Nadolo or Jonah, but I'm not particularly hopeful!
In another answer to my questions - I see both Knewstubb and Ng Shui are down to play in the Ta$man team vs Wellington tomorrow.
Ta$man squad - effectively 27 with Squire unlikely to be available much if at all seems a fair bit leaner than most others - but, I guess they've got a few to call in if necessary.

The Auckland Rugby website isn't exactly prompt with updates
They have just posted an article about the game from Saturday and talks about the upcoming 'game of 3 halves' that was in fact played yesterday
The only info about yesterdays game seems to be that Auckland won the half against the Coca Cola Red Sparks 19-7

The Mitre 10 Cup website is being filled with season previews at the moment. Haven't read them yet, so don't know whether they are any good. Here are the team previews that are already available. I'll post the remaining ones (Counties, Ta$man & Hawke's Bay) later when they are available:

Yeah I don't get all this chatter about Bowden. He never settled at 10 or 12 at super rugby level and was only marginally above serviceable at npc level. Why people would now think the same player at 31 and riddled by injury, might make a good signing is bloody beyond me.
