The Changes I’d like for Wellington is that they turn up....

Patrick still injured?

@Bovidae he's been very underwhelming at centre.

You need to be extra careful with Achilles.

Big praise for Trainor from Parsons on this week's podcast.

To be fair, his brother took a while to hit his straps, if he's on the same trajectory he could end up being pretty decent eh.

mikey07

@Bones Yeah very true maybe that was why they signed him to a 5 year deal

It's on! Go Auckland, cracking day up here in the big smoke

... and holy shit Akira has normalised his haircut. No more bleach. Hopefully he lifts again

Stargazer

So they swapped JSavea and Patafilo? Tactical decision?

quoting myself, but damn that's my fault. Akira down with blood I think

@Stargazer sounded like an injury in Wellington starting 14?

Stargazer

@nzzp From bleached to dark pink. Normalised you say?
