Do they serve full strength beer at Eden Park?..... maybe @dogmeat can ask one of his mates for me? A bit disappointed we haven't gone full strength for this one. I've seen Makene play a few times and don't think he's anything special, Bridge has been one of our best this year. A pretty weak tight five too. Gawler, Vella and Dalzell all a big step down from the men they are replacing. Luke Whitelock back is good though, surely our defense wont leak 50+ again with him on the field, hope he hits Ioane hard a few times

If Canterbury can't win this by 50 they should walk home.

Makene was quite solid for the Mako$ last year, but he's a bit little. Interesting they're playing him at fullback and McKay on the wing. I would have expected them to be switched. @Kiwimurph - Yeah - looks like a good chunk of the starting pack on the bench. Should help avoid the sort of points scoring reversal that led to the Shield loss.

Hickey throws it a meter forward and Auckland scores

@kiwimurph said in Auckland vs Canterbury: It turns out they do - just run at Jono Hickey - good plan that - dude is a turnstyle. Canterbury try. Hickey tackles like a wicket keeper
