    Two fairly even line-ups if you ask me.

    Is Ngani Punivai injured or has Brown dropped him?

    @kiwi_expat Seems to be a case of rotation?

      midfield fails to get the ball wide...swap out your wings...makes sense :man_facepalming_light_skin_tone:

      i am tempted to put some money on a Vahaakolo try, smith down the blind, pops on the 22 and nothing stops him

        @stargazer really? after a 39 point drubbing to the Blues in previous round?

        I highly doubt Brown would refrain from playing his best 23 in a must-win game. Highlanders beating Canes could be the difference between finishing 3rd or 4th.

          Love is in the reserves. Leger is limited as all hell at first so hopefully they get Love on early at either first or FB

          That is going to be really interesting. The coaches insist that Love is an outside back that can play 10 not the other way around. Basically putting him in the same boat as Jordie.
          IMO they would be stupid not to take an opportunity to try him at 10 given the season circumstances in that position.

          @crucial to be fair Beaudy started out as a fullback before moving into 10. Hopefully Love gets a run there late in the match.

              youre not wrong but i dont think Punivai has done enough to say he's the clear option, he's been solid but hasn;t owned it like Nareki has on the other side

                      The best halfback in the world still can't tackle.

                        Rayasi was offside infront of the kicker.

                          Coles already making a huge difference.

                              Good try by JB. Simple play, executed well adn he's hard to stop with a head of steam

                                Nice move with Proctor's line holding the defence.

                                    Be interesting to see how negative Collins yards are in the game so far
