Blues vs Moana Pasifika 2022
-
MacDonald confirmed Roger Tuivasa-Sheck was an unlikely starter for Saturday as he works back from his shoulder injury, and with Beauden Barrett out in concussion protocols and Josh Goodhue, Dalton Papalii, Rieko Ioane and Hoskins Sotutu all nursing blows from the trip to Dunedin, he has a bit to think about on the selection front.
@tim promising he brackets Goodhue as an injury rather than Concussion protocols.
But on Beaudy, yikes, poor buggar, expect it must be a shit issue to come back from, as it would likely make you a bit tentative going into contact, which is a bad thing in itself!

@tim who's your captain...

@taniwharugby Christie. Romano if he’s replaced.
-
@tim he's been unusually quiet this year, solid but not upto his usual standards.

@tim are they going to back up forwards? Can see Segner sitting or bench, as well as Darry.
Tucker definitely, Eklund definitely, hopefully BB right

@tim said in Blues 2022:
Forgot Tom Robinson. He starts with Suafoa or Plumtree on the bench?
Sotutu at 8 surely.
@kiwimurph I left out the players carrying injuries.

@tim said in Blues vs Moana Pasifika 2022:
I'm guessing that some of the midfielders such as Aumua are injured.
Also weird that Visinia is not getting a run on the bench. Fomai must also be injured as well for Tuitavuki to be starting again.
Only 4 Magpies in the team this week, I can't abide this.

Hope we've fixed our defence against the rolling maul for this game. Quite happy with the team we've put out in the circumstances, especially with Corey Evans at 12, he looks a quality player. Good bench we have as well.
