@Tim I wonder if Noah Perelini is son of Apollo? I had Apollo in a team when he was a teenager. An awesome young man, it would be great to see a son of his coming through.

Yup, that's the Terminator's son. Like dad, he plays openside too.
I think Apollo's been living in Dubai for awhile now.

@Kirwan Even better - Apollo's middle name is 'Eleven'. He was named after the moon rocket because he was born the same day it launched - 16 July 1969. Don't believe me? google him and the launch date.

Apollo Perelini is such a cool name. I missed a trick with my son there.
Yes it is, but I didn't have you down as a Perelini.
Kirwan and Duluth Perelini. I would never have guessed.

Would have been significantly better at rugby if it was my last name.

Yeah, my brother in law thought that he was good at rugby because his name is Colin.

@Tim I'm surprised that Freedom Vaha'akolo is not in the B squad after a stellar club season and trialling with the M10 squad preseason. Maybe he is injured or moved away?

Freedom played fullback for the Bs on the weekend.
Suafoa was also at blindside for the Bs. So like @Nogusta mentioned, he might be seen as more of a 6 by the coaches.
-
Lemeki Namoa also seems to have recovered from his injury as he was playing at centre for the U19s against the Colts on the weekend.
@Dice That's good news. At the A squad naming it mentioned one back to be added. Namoa would be my choice for that spot as he can cover centre, wing, fullback and would be a good threat off the bench with his speed and step.

-
@Tim I assume he's been injured because he wasn't part of the first three U19 games. I think he's been injured for a good chunk of the year.

Auckland are training at Blues HQ. Finally some sensible stuff going on between Auckland and Blues.
