    @chris I've seen Mitch play for HSOB down here and they have very similar styles. Both very physical 7s that throw themselves into everything both in attack and defense.

    Sadly Mitch Gibson that day got outshone by his opposite Bill Harmon. Hope for his sake his body holds up a bit better than his brothers especially with the style he plays.

    I rate young Corey Kellow,It will be interesting how he goes off the bench.

          McAlister,Prinsep,Grace and Harmon have injuries
          Naholo still building his knee up.

          A lot of Players in this side from the Crusaders academy
          They may suprise you, some future Crusaders in there .
          I have never heard of half of the Auckland team either
          Like Lane, and the No.8 and the Bench.

            @chris Lane has been around for years. Average beanpole lock. Being tall is about his only attribute shown so far.

              @george33 Its not as strong as what it was a few years back tbh. Still, despite Canterbury not being as strong as they once were, never write off any Canterbury side.

                @kiwimurph Yeah surprised to see him back tbh. Lacks a hard edge.

                I'd like to see Dalzell there if fit. I was quite impressed with him last season.

                                  I missed the beginning of the game due to Sky Go playing up. Who scored the Auckland try?
