Hames? Jacobson? Seu bench? McKenzie? Alaimalo? Wainui? Cooper taking the piss?

@Yeahtheboys Alaimalo is injured (wrist IIRC) so assume rest are too.

No Alaimalo is a big surprise for me (injury?) plus I’m surprised to see Seu off the bench.
I suspect Hames is on the AB plan, as is McKenzie. I’d rather we tried get these home derby games though, by picking a slightly stronger team...
-
Our starting 10 for the first games wasn’t even good enough to be picked in the original squad. Parete not in original squad but playing?
-
Hames: has only just returned from injury, and is probably not ready yet.
Wainui: -as far as I know, he is still recovering from the injury that kept him out of the Mitre 10 Cup.
Aalaimalo: as @taniwharugby says, he is also injured.Leger played at 10 in the PS game against the Reds.
I guess Dmac is taking one of his mandatory ABs rest days.

From the team announcement:
This week’s curtain raiser will feature the region’s up and coming with the Splice Construction Chiefs Development taking on the Chiefs Under 20’s at 5.00pm. -
Like the tight 5, don't mind the loosies (but yea prefer Seu). Our best 9 & 10 on the bench though?

The Counties Manukau youngster, who made seven appearances for the Blues last year, has predominantly played at centre in the professional ranks but minor injuries to McKenzie and former Melbourne Rebels pivot Jack Debreczeni (abdominal strain) have forced Cooper's hand.
