I wonder who Auckland are looking at for back up locks to Whetton and Scrafton this season. I was just informed by a friend of his that Jamie Lane is not playing at all this season and a google search told me that Peter-Chanel Tagaloa is playing for the Gordon club in NSW. Does anyone know of any up and coming young locks in the Auckland system that might be looked at? The only one I've heard about is Felix Kalapu from Gtec, but I have not seen him play.

@Daffy-Jaffy Former manawatu lock Liam Hallam-Eames is playing for Grammar at present after returning from England. He must be about 24/25 now.Think he was Hurricanes development squad before heading overseas and could be an option this year
-
@Kiwidom Nice info mate, thought I recognised that name from somewhere. Grammar TEC just thrashed Ponsonby, did he play in that game?
-
@Daffy-Jaffy Cameron Suafoa could be a lock option even though he's playing 6 for College Rifles.
And if we lose a couple of locks to injury, Waimana Riedlinger-Kapa might be asked to cover lock.
-
@Dice Suafoa has signed with Ta$man. I think he played his first club game down there on Saturday.
@Nogusta Didn't they want him last year? Looks like they got it done this time.
Ta$man can now field an all-Auckland backrow if they wanted with Suafoa, Havili and Fox-Matamua down there.
Is Tone Ng Shiu aligned with Auckland? After years away, he's finally back playing for Pakuranga.

@Magic65 You may find the NH team sheets via this website. Click on the name of the clubs. It's possible that not all clubs upload their line-ups.
@Stargazer Cheers mate I've been there..it seems optional to post up cause most don't submit their line-ups.

Inga Finau has picked up a Auckland Mitre 10 contract for 2020
My source says he was not wanted by Canterbury -

@Chris I guess they see Poihipi, McLeod and Ennor as sufficient enough depth without needing Finau as well.
@African-Monkey said in Auckland Rugby 2020:

It seems so,they also have Isaiah Punivai and Ngane Punivai as midfield cover .
