      Heading down to Dunedin for the game. Should be a goody but still feels too early for rugby. Summer is just starting here...

              Hinton suggesting a predictable backline:

              9 Christie
              10 Barrrett
              11 Clarke
              12 RTS
              13 Ioane
              14 Telea
              15 Perofeta

              Thoughts on starting pack? Might be:

              1 Hodgman
              2 Eklund
              3 Laulala
              4 Tucker
              5 Tuipulotu
              6 Ioane
              7 Papalii
              8 Sotutu

              Based on availability, bench might be:

              16 Riccitelli
              17 Lay
              18 Tu'ungufasi
              19 Suafoa
              20 Choat
              21 Nock
              22 Heem
              23 Sullivan

                  Classic eh, 5-15 could probably almost have been down in an EOYT starting sheet.

                      No way. Better for us this game and for when BB stays next year and Stevie says fuck this I'm going down south to play outside the starting AB halfback.

                            According to AB threads that backline contains a useless halfback, a scattergun 10, a wannabe 12, a 13 that makes poor decisions, a stopgap wing, a wing with terrible defence that trips over his own feet and a fullback that isn’t good enough to get a game.
                            Just saying.

                                    @Tim jesus that backline!

                                    According to AB threads that backline contains a useless halfback, a scattergun 10, a wannabe 12, a 13 that makes poor decisions, a stopgap wing, a wing with terrible defence that trips over his own feet and a fullback that isn’t good enough to get a game.
                                    Just saying.

                                    I see that and raise you an; injury prone halfback with an experimental knee revovery, a midget a 10 whp has barely played in the last year, our main threat on the wing, can he see out a game at 12 or will we see another month on the sidelines? a tough battler at centre, Jonah MK11, and a Canterbury reject at fullback. Your batch sounds a lot better than ours
