Male Ngiuafe

He's a tighthead who played for NZ U20 a couple of years ago? Wonder if he would be a good option for the Auckland squad now?

[Kiwidom]

@Tim Yup that's correct. Had a few injuries so just needs to string a few games together.
Id forgotten about Alex Harford - is he still around or still injured?

Alex Harford

Haven't seen him in club rugby team sheets. Isn't listed for any MLR teams either. Maybe injured?

[MacDazzler]

@Kiwidom Seen him at Auckland Airport two weeks back wearing Western Force gear.

He often played openside for Taranaki.

Some of the ABs were water-boys for the Marist-Varsity game.

Had a good laugh at Rieko being at the Marist game when he and his family are staunch Ponsonby people lol.

Yeah that was funny. Beauden was with Uni and not Marist IIRC.

Looking at first day in camp cannot see any out of the contenders lots of familiar names by the look of it.

Could it be that young HB Lock Tom Allen is training with Auckland for this season? He was tagged by someone in this post on Auckland's IG -
Could this be him?

That could be his twin brother.

[Steven Harris]

Auckland have signed NZ Under 20 lock Tom Allen from Hawkes Bay
Possibly a trade situation with Zarn Sullivan heading back to the bay
Ponsonby lock Junior Ahokovi i believe is also signed
Varsity lock Tyson Lowry has been signed by Auckland on a PUD contract very much about size although there are question marks about his physicality

NZ U20 lock Josh Tengbald has also signed with Auckland but for the 2027 season , will be linking up with the Highlanders for 2026

Adrian Choat also still part of the Auckland squad
Visa issue i am hearing

That suggests he might be coming back to the Blues too after his Highlanders contract expires?
