@Duluth, you beat me to it...
Tafa and Tu'ungafasi swapping places, Koller at 10, Tele'a named to start in the midfield, Banks moves to the wing with Cam Howell promoted to the starting lineup at fullback, Gage Jackson makes his debut off the bench.

Pellegrini dropped from the 23 altogether.

Will be interested to see how Telea goes at 13.

Pleased our Naki boys that went off injured last week all appear to be right this week, probably especially Fiti Sa, who looked pretty crocked when he left field on Saturday.

[UpTheHarbs]

@pakman He played 13 once before, in September 2022 (the last time we hosted Taranaki)

I'm hoping he can get through season uninjured and show some hard edges to his game.

[Duluth]

Starting soon

[UpTheHarbs]

Here we go!

[Duluth]

NH error rate way too high

[UpTheHarbs]

Not looking good for us…

[Duluth]

very good try, nice touch JRK

[Duluth]

15-0 after 26min

[UpTheHarbs]

We’ve only had 20% possession so far

[antipodean]

Poor defensive coordination for that third try. Winger and fullback not talking.

[UpTheHarbs]

Ruzich scores!
