@Duluth I see Josh Beehre in a maul there with PT so he might be back this weekend. also Ben Ake involved in contact so he must be recovering well from his surgery. Hopefully Sotutu is also close to returning.

Irony is this was almost the table from last year. Blues and Canes at the top, Crusaders near the bottom.

Great to see C. Christie up and running -

Peita at 7 again, not sure that’s his right position. Would prefer to see someone like Hainsworth-Fa'aofo there instead. Maybe he's injured
Spencer on the wing is interesting. There's a lot of fullback options in the squad, wing might be how he gets a run for the full side

Is Cam Howell related to David?
David Holwell. Different surname
Durr, sorry, got excited.

@Mr-Fish David does have a son though (Darcy) that has played age grade provincial and may have trained with the blues u20s last year too iirc

@Bovidae
Apologies for the quality got a pic from the team manager
Apparently they had to get some more players inOn the game , for the Blues Tristan Cook was on fire as was Terrall Peita , not a 7 but did a great job
Xavi Taele is going to be some player as will Rico Simpson in time
Was good to see Cam Christie back given his head injury issues ,Jack Lee was also very good , high workrateFor Moana ,Alamanda Moutuga Tevita Ofa for the best for mine

@Bovidae I hunted but was unable to find a MP team list. I was interested to see how many young local players were involved with their wider squad.

An interesting analysis. Cotter said they want to evolve as you can't stay still, but did they change too much?

Cotter may have more to worry about, too; openside flanker Dalton Papali'i was replaced late in the game because of a head injury.
