It's looking less likely that either Manu or Kapeli will be involved with 8 loose forwards already selected.

@stargazer said in Pasifika SR team:
Eight Magpies in the MP squad. :astonished_face:
With that many in the squad they could come back into NPC pretty banged up and bruised given the number of games they will probably now have to play. Much easier for the Magpies when all they ever did was train at the Hurricanes!

@dolamite IIRC, three players still to be named:
1 loosehead prop
Chris Apoua
1 halfback
Manu Paea
1 1st five
D'angelo Leuila -
@tim Todays announcement Moli and Havilli cover the Hooker and outside back. Presuming they carry 38 as per the NZ teams. The rumors suggest Manu Paea is 3rd half back and Chris Apoua the final Prop.
@daffy-jaffy Thanks. Edits coming up!

@bovidae Yep. Seeing some of the names, I really think they're scraping the barrel in some positions.
@stargazer I'd see it more taking a punt on potential than scraping the bottom of the barrell...but yeah, expect there will be a number found wanting.

@taniwharugby Yeah, good point.

im also well aware that the Highlanders often carry several players who some would argue are NPC level at best, it will be really interesting to see how their first string players will gel

@kiwiwomble i am really hopeful they are competitive, i believe their first game is at home against the Brumbies at Mt Smart.
More than anything else i hope it inspires a group of young polynesian kids that they can earn a living and more important play for their country of orgin. -
@daffy-jaffy Another one called by @Nogusta!
