@bovidae Looks like they are only playing about 25 minutes each way given the 3rd v 4th 2.50pm kick off is just sixty minutes after the game two kick off at 1.50pm.

@bovidae interesting Reihana is playing for Taranaki, thought he may have got a run for Waikato even though he's signed for Northland....I guess Waikato are not to happy about that, or maybe just wanting to give as much time as possible to their flyhalf options for the coming season.

From Waikato's perspective I see no point in using Reihana either. The Waikato team is named some time tomorrow so we'll see who gets the no.10 jersey. It could be Coombes-Fabling or one of the young 1st 5s. Coby Miln was on the fringes of the Waikato squad last year so is another option.
I expect Sullivan to be released to play as he is never in the Chiefs match-day squad.

The other young 1st 5 I am referring to is Tepaea Cook-Savage.
there seem to be more double-barreled surnames than in Sydney private school First XVs
