@African-Monkey Thomas was excellent for Auckland
@KiwiMurph Yes he was, would have him in the Blues side. Was more a reference to the fact that there are 3 firmer Auckland players on the Reds bench.

@African-Monkey lots of kiwis in SEQ so increasing representation wouldn't surprise me.
I'll be interested in seeing the development of the Refs under Kiss as coach too. I expect them to be much more competitive.

From 'The Roar' -
The NSW Waratahs have some headaches as the Super Rugby Pacific season approaches, after they were steamrolled by the Queensland Reds in a trial game two weeks out from a round-one rematch.The Reds led 29-0 at halftime and won 32-7 on Saturday night, Jock Campbell in devastating form at fullback and fellow try-scorer Hunter Paisami equally damaging at inside centre.
The Reds’ offence was humming in Roma, where new Wallabies coach Joe Schmidt, who doesn’t officially start in the role until March 1, was an interested onlooker.
In Perth, Western Force five-eighth Max Burey missed a tough after-the-siren conversion to level their trial game against the ACT Brumbies, who snuck home 22-20.
