I think it’s worth having two or three experienced ABs (eg Havili, Papali’i) in a team like the AB XV to share their international insight and experience with some pretty young dudes who are tasting their first international footy as a senior player.

Plus it’s not as if Havili is over the moon, he’s only 30.

Yes Havili can pass on his experience of being the worst player on the field in the AUNZ team that got thrashed by the Lions.

So valuable.....

Yes because that was a real team that meant something….

You would hope it would have to him given he was co captain. The other co captain LSL certainly did his part.

I saw that game. It did not inspire confidence, to put it mildly.

Sorry, I meant AJ.

I assumed AJ Lam was injured, I prefer him to DH, he's 3 and a half years younger. Bigger. Faster. But he doesn't play for the Crusaders, mind.

@nostrildamus we can't always get what we want let's try and focus on the postives as Ratumaitavuki kneepkens & Tangitau play alongside each other for the 1st time since they did in a Blues preseason match in 2023

Can’t see match on NZR+

But sometimes, we get what we need.. And that ain't DH!

[Bones]

So Havili has been pretty classy so far...

Absolutely smoked their left wing.

[Bones]

Jacomb has been yuck.

And then stepped out fielding the return kick.

Stream went out, what happened for the try?

[Bones]

Boshier looks like a back in the forwards, must be the smallest. Great for a blindside.

Forwards got run over a little bit too easily 5m out

[Bones]

Moroni lucky it's an exhibition match.

[Bones]

Fucking hell Boshier you moron.

[ACT Crusader]

Strong carry by Havili and then Boshier knocked on.

[ACT Crusader]

Where’s Rivez…..

[Tim]

@Bones Might turn out to be a good player, but hasn't shown anything at Super level yet. NPC is meaningless.

Shocking Howden or Withy aren’t starting at 6. Boshier has been a bum most of the season
