Auckland v Tasman

[Dice]

Whetton will be a big loss. It also seems Riedlinger-Kapa picked up an injury too. Our line-out might suffer a bit if both are out.

Just watched the first half. One of those pleasant experiences where you can't tell who played well in the forwards because the whole pack is nailing their roles.

Thought Adams made a difference at the scrum when he came on. Get that man a Super Rugby contract.

Rayasi really fucked up by signing with the Canes - he should be a starting winger at Super level

Neither the Landers nor the Chiefs have anyone as good as him (Alaimalo in form perhaps). Let’s hope he gets his chance next year with Lam gone at the Canes.

Sevu Reece is shit.

[Stargazer]

@gt12 He may choose to go to the Olympics if they go ahead next year.

We won't miss Sione Havili now. Choat is better.

[Nepia]

@Stargazer You're not a fan, but Akira was easily one of the top two 8's in the country for two years and was overlooked and it appeared to impact him mentally. At least Havilli has actually been selected for tests. Havilli should be fine, he may have made the squad if he wasn't injured.

[Duluth]

Any update on Whetton?

[Chris B.]

@Duluth Not as bad as it looked...
