@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.

@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.

Just storing this away for later:
"Razor has put the pressure back on us to perform in Super Rugby to get picked again. He’s made it clear if we’re not performing, we’re not going to be there again.” -

No resistance from Blackadder in defence for that first try.
The article said EB played well for 20 minutes without injury. He can last 20 minutes now! Hallelujah!
"For starters, Ethan Blackadder was impressive during his 20 minutes, highlighted by a couple of steals and a thumping hit on Blues pivot Harry Plummer, and he got through unscathed." -

That’s a massive blow. All teams are definitely taking some hits before the season has even begun.
