Taranaki v Hawkes Bay
-
Might be hard to judge some of the conversions/penalties

That’s a very strong NPC side. And to think they could add two Bosh’s and a Brown to the mix.

@number-10 Strong line-up! Good to see MMT on the team sheet. I had seen him on photos of training, but wasn't sure he was ready to play. His leg injury must have healed fast!
-
@nepia Watchyed him live against the Coast so it was a little hard to judge how he might go against the professional teams. He looked kind of the size of Lolagi Visinia ie quite tall and well built in a good kind of way. I would pick him to be more your forceful bustling type of winger rather than your Terry Wright type although he did seem to be quite quick off the mark but whether he has the 90 metre runaway try type of sustained speed I am unsure. Guess we will not know until we see him in action where he needs to display it, if he has got it that is.

I must admit I don't know anything about Tuitavuki. Is he any good?
He was in the 2020 HB Academy team and played once for the Magpies last year.
Played for Havelock North last year and switched to Clive this year. He is a fulltime member of this year's Magpies squad.

Pretty sure we wouldn't have had him anyway as he would have been with the ABs.
