                    I am interested in how Tristyn Cook went at lock. NH website has him listed at 1.99m. Accurate?

                      @Tim As is common with young tall Locks he is likely still growing. With the Blues only picking 6 Loosies in the squad, Cook could well see some game time covering 6/Lock off the bench when injuries hit.
                      The best news from the Stuff article posted above is O'Halloran (standing in as head coach due to Cotter having knee surgery) saying there were no injuries from the game.

                        @Daffy-Jaffy Yeah, he played 6 for Harbour last year, IIRC.

                          DOB is 18/12/2004, so should be eligible for NZ U20 again this year.

                            There were some highlights on TV3 news tonight. They said O'Connor had a good game.

                                No resistance from Blackadder in defence for that first try.

                                  Looks like Taufa Funaki played the first half.

                                    @Tim Yeah, did not see Christie at all. Must have picked up a late niggle? Also the team list graphic was wrong re: Tupaea being Tighthead. He played loosehead. Your boy Cook seemed to go well. I observed from NPC that he has a big engine and looks to make impact when he is around the ball. Just has a bit to learn about running lines when playing 6. Very promising though.

                                        That's pretty rough when he made the two tackles prior to that.

                                        But yeah, fuck him.
