Kahui role with the ole two fullbacks
erm what?
I'm not saying Kahui was a FB, just saying when he was on the wing he would also play a fullback role (didn't he?)

@Tim esp left wing...suppose easier to let the vastly experience JB play out of position on the left wing than the rookie Reece.

Except Reece was a left winger for Waikato. I don't think he played on the right before the Crusaders.

@Hooroo Just say you knew Kahui made his SR debut at fullback.
Didn't he make is debut on the wing for the Highlanders in 2006?

@SouthernMann Fullback I thought. As a sub?
@jegga Always a centre.

He was playing fullback when Gregan was carded for spear tackling him from memory.

For the NZ U21s?
I just remember him mainly as a centre for Waikato from his debut as a teenager. Probably played on the wing and fullback then too.

@Toddy I think it's more a case of "we know what Rieko offers at 11 we need to look at others"
@KiwiMurph Yeah, they're clearly using this game to test a few newbies and new combinations. I expect TJP, Rieko and also Bridge to play against SA, as well as several of the Crusaders players left behind in NZ.

For the highlanders, damn he had a horror run with shoulder injuries
