in hospital in footy shorts and birkinstocks? foot up on the bed? God the Ioane boys have a fucking terrible attitude. Just lazy and arrogant and niggly. The worst.

[mariner4life]

Akira could be out of action for a while.

He's indicated he has a lisfranc foot injury.

had to google. Looks painful.

Damn unlucky, he's huge for us

Plumtree should get plenty of game time now

When Dalton is back Papali'i/Sotutu/Robinson with Plumtree as cover still looks strong

@duluth It will be interesting to see what teams Suafoa gets used against.

[Duluth]

@tim

They seem to rate him as a lock as well. So we might see Choat & Suafoa on the bench at some stage?

[Daffy Jaffy]

@tim The official SANZAR site match page has Suafoa listed at 19 instead of Darry. Maybe he was initially going to play this game but picked up a late injury this week?

the initial list had Romano/Darry bracketed in the 15, and Darry/Suafoa in reserves

Looks like Romano starting though

Ioane could be back in a couple of weeks if lucky. Papalii is being stood down as a precaution.

With that Injury I think a Couple of weeks for Akira is wishful thinking.
It would be the greatest come back in history from that type of injury.

@chris a Liz franc can be a career ender.

would love to, but have to attend a cricket game in real life instead. Great opportunity, and dispapoined I'll miss it. Still, getting some games at Eden Park will be great
