    @stargazer Think this was his first year with the Auckland NPC squad, and unfortunately he didn't get to play.

    EDIT: He's only 21, so not much experience! He was in the 2020 NZ U20 training squad. Looks like he got a game off the bench last year against Northland.

    @tim He got one start against Canterbury last year too. He looked good in that game.

              Has Fatialofa recovered from his terrible injury ? When is he back in NZ ?
              I reckon he could be a real contender for a spot in the ABs RWC squad, given the lack of options as far as locks are concerned.

                    Stan van den Hoven-the name of a very tall Dutch vacuum cleaner.

                        @bayimports wondered why he disappeared to King Country then off the radar when he has such obvious potential. Good luck to him

                          Maybe RL is his preference. He's a strong, direct runner with deceptive speed so could be a handful.

                                @mikey07 Maybe he was still up there after the 'Ikale Tahi tour had finished awaiting winning an MIQ spot and took up the offer to earn a bit of pocket money? Some teams are really struggling numbers wise with injuries and Covid19 playing havoc. For instance when Munster played Wasps in the European Championship last week there were something like 55 players unavailable for selection over the two squads.

                                    How is Jackson Hemopo going these days? Might be useful as a power lock.
