Rebels v Blues

Starting Renata at 3 (who is probably a better loosehead than tighthead) is a big call. Anyone know if a replacement has come in for Lay? Maybe Teague McElroy?
-
Should be some big impact off the bench:
Ofa Tuungafasi, Nerpo Laulala, Jacob Pierce, Akira Ioane, Sam Nock

Gotta love how much these 'fans' must follow things...wondering where Pat T, Clark and Tuivasa are...

@taniwharugby Yeah, you see that all time on social media. I think a lot of fans only follow the franchises' social media accounts, but don't read any news or media releases (even when they include the links). I can understand that from fans from other countries (esp if English is not their first language), but don't quite get why people in NZ don't follow their team more closely.

@stargazer the Tuivasa one made me laugh most, I mean thats pretty high profile that it is next year

because for the most part its really really boring
Pro teams' social media accounts are barren wastelands of tedium

I rate Renata better at TH. More important, is Nepo having a rest?

@pakman also better having Goodhue locking behind him too.
Will be good to see Peirce get a crack too.

Ofa and Laulala are on the bench. Also Akira.
Rebels are up against it -

I don't think anyone rates Renata as a LH, including the Blues coaches. Ofa was the reserve LH prop in the Chiefs game with Renata the TH.

at the risk of being shown up, that is a good Blues bench and the team looks ok (shame Dalton is out but Choat isn't that bad a replacement). What was with the photos, regional moustache day?

Watching the Rebels warm up and the reserve backs can't even pass in front of each other accurately unopposed. Skill levels in SR are poor.
