If we eliminate Scooter and the pre NPC 12 from squad we get:

EDG/Taylor/Lomax/PaddyT/Vaa’i/Paps/Finau/RD/TJS/DMac/Jordie/Rieko/Telea/Reece/Perofeta
Tamaiti/Aumua/Fletch/Darry/LJ/Ratima/ALB/BB

TJ Sayonara?

I thought it was our super hybrid, TJ Smith

[pakman]

@Bones That was what we all hoped.

@cgrant That backline is the most attacking we have had in years

[BerniesCorner]

Looks like the AB coaches have acknowledged that the attacking backline capabilities have been sub par in recent years. The rush defence by the opposition has been dominant.
Obviously trying to mix the attack up a bit now. Good move.
Hotham, Ratima and Roigard are all good runners.
A hard running 6 would be handy as well. That's a vacancy that hasn't been consistently filled since Kaino

[Bovidae]

I'm not sure why Marc Hinton keeps writing that it is a choice between Reece and Clarke as the "power winger". Firstly, Reece isn't a power winger. Secondly, Telea is the winger most under threat in the starting XV.

I'm certain I know why: Marc Herpy Derpy Hinton.

[taniwharugby]

So with SB out, Ardie cap, Taylor and JB VC, and Plummer in as injury cover for Perofeta

[Frank]

Plummer should have been there in the first place.

Add Roigard to that backline and it’s even better. Having four Canes in the backline is the obvious ingredient to success.

Haha shit I didn’t actually think anyone would take that post seriously.

[Canes4life]

Nice touch bringing Harry’s Dad in to announce to the Auckland squad that Harry joined the ABs.

@Canes4life no one usually does when the words success and Hurricanes are in the same sentance….

Regardless of how they do at Rugby Wellington is THE best place in New Zealand and I will fight anyone who disagrees
