Those in the Wellington Centurions squad have obviously missed out on the Lions squad which should be named shortly. This means Under 20 players like Peter Lakai, Riley Higgins should make the top team along with the already established Aiden Morgan and Ruben Love.

@stargazer there's Milo-Harris

Presumably most of those not in the Centurions squad who are playing here will be in the Lions squad.
@bobily2 Interesting names on that list a lot of players playing out of position, also a couple of new faces, weird how some of the clubs still involved in finals have some players missing but can’t see Kemara Hauiti-Parapara in that team list or even the centurions squad.

@canes4life Luca Rees has been outstanding for Norths this year was kind of hoping he’d get a call up to the big time be interesting to see who the loosies are as Fifita left today for England according to his Instagram.
@mikey07 I'm picking the following loose forwards - Kirifi, Smith, Delany, Savea (All Blacks), Whitman, Lakai, Halalilo, Ropeti and Ben-Nicholas (if he hasn't left NZ already).
If I had to pick a top Wellington XV right now minus All Blacks you are probably looking at something like this:
- Numia
- Thompson
- Fidow
- Blackwell
- Bird
- Delany
- Kirifi
- Ben-Nicholas
- Judd
- Morgan
- Goosen
- Umaga-Jensen
- Proctor
- Savea
- Love

There just wasn't any space for him in the squad. Going to Southland doesn't mean he can't come back. I'd much rather see him go, rack up 10 games, become a better player and then return than sit as squad number 31 and not get a game.
As for TUJ. He would have been set to have a massive season. I just hope he doesn't bulk up again! I think 113kg is certainly enough.

What's happening with TUJ? Is he injured again?

@chris shit, he has the worst luck. Is that a different injury to the one that finished his Super campaign?
The kid has spent more time on the sideline than on the field so far in his career. Hope he can turn it around.

@tim said in NPC - news, injuries etc:
A few players not there ,Naholo,Matele,Debreczini,Williams,Darry, Prinsep, Harmon
and a few on the bench that will probably start.@chris said in NPC - news, injuries etc:

and a few on the bench that will probably start.I think most players, who played for the Maori ABs and national squads over the past few weeks, won't play yet this weekend. That doesn't explain all these names missing on squad lists, but quite a few.
