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

              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

                      @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

                          @Daffy-Jaffy Did MP release a team list? They have injuries so it would be interesting to see who they've added to their wider squad.

                            @Bovidae
                            Apologies for the quality got a pic from the team manager
                            Apparently they had to get some more players in

                            On 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 workrate

                            For 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?

                                  Given the current narrative that our wingers are slow, does anyone have access to the Blues sprint times?

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

                                        Sounds like we will be out our two best loose forwards, and two half backs.

                                        Time for Barrett to prove his worth. It's his 10th opportunity etc ...

                                          Nope. No idea.

                                          Wish teams would give fans more info.
