What the fuck are they doing with so many fucking locks.
Looks like a team which will lose at the semis.

Well technically two of those locks are 6's also because there's not already enough of them.

no way the blues have papalii and sotutu
hurricanes have Higgins
there no way we can complete

Jayden Sa would be slightly taller than Finau but shorter than Parker.

need big seasons from kumeroa and Ahio as prop a bit of a weak area as it has been for a while. and a bit less depth in midfield hopefully brown can step up. he has looked good for the poo.
the rest is as expected and depth hasn't disappeared in other areas.
a forth hooker does seem strange wonder if that could have been better served at prop or midfield.
could be covered in wtg

Handy enough

What do they see in coombs fabling

Tim

Have to be favourites. Prop depth could be a concern though.

Bovidae

@Yeetyaah O'Neill over Kumeroa.

Gibbes will be able to rotate the back three and midfield. I want to see Taumoefolau getting his share of starts.

cliff

Given enough chances Kyle brown is going to be a standout player
