@Tim Yay - Go you good things, all's right with the universe. I was not able make the game today so thanks for the updates. Seemed like a 'game of two halves' with a tense finish. I was worried when I saw the Marist team named but the Ponies forward pack is almost rep quality and they seemed to take charge in the second half (going by the try scorers).

Any idea as to how #10 Tevita Hala has been going in club rugby?

I remember that he was the starting first five for Auckland Schoolboy's a year or two ago

But particularly boo because Ponsonby.

From instagram it looks like Desma Liaina will be in the Auckland squad, and Jordan Trainor looks fit.

@Tim Ruru, Liaina and Danny Tusitala will probably be the 3 halfbacks. Taufa Funaki will probably get a game or 2 after the U19 tournament.

@Nogusta Also Pele cowley and Rilloy Suesue from Ponies were both involved in a preseason game. Danny Tusitala has been playing wing all season at club.

@Daffy-Jaffy Cowley might be at RWC for Samoa. I would go for Suesue for the 3rd halfback spot.
@Nogusta True, I see Cowley's name in their Pacific Nations cup squad. As also i see is Ray Niuia rumoured to be Moulds' replacement at the Blues next season, so we can get a decent assessment of him there.

Just realized Michael Lea (hooker) played the last few rounds for Marist which would suggest he might be suiting up for Auckland in the M10? Formerly of Counties and most recently played for Asia Pacific Dragons in the Rapid Rugby tourney. I liked the look the look of him when he was with Counties. Did the fundamentals well and was a solid ball carrier. Good hooking stocks for Auckland - Abel, Apisai and Lea.

@KiwiMurph anyone see much of Matt Storm this year for G Tech? I know hes in the Auckland Academy and was part of the wider M10 squad.

@Nogusta Lea appears to have been playing in Ireland for the last two seasons. for the Greystones RFC in the Ulster 2nd division.
