<p>Will D'Angelo Leuila be moved on now that he has been pick for Samoa in the June tests similar to Kelly Meafua?</p>

<p>I was thinking about that when I saw him in the Samoan team. We're not so assured at 10 like we were at backrow when we told Meafua to move on, so I hope we don't let him go so fast.</p>

<p>im surprised they're fast tracking D'Angelo in the Samoan set up. He must've really impressed in the u20s comp. </p>
<p>I guess it helps ur chances when you play outside Junior Poluleuligaga.</p>

<p>I think it's a savvy move by Samoa. Get him in before someone tries to deter him from opting so early in his career.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> I don't think he's ready for Test rugby yet, but it's a good investment for the future. </p> -

<p>Completely agreed. Blues and their ITM Cup teams and their struggles at 10 - if he's talented I'd hope he is considered - not exactly in a position to be picky!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Hopefully at the very least Hickey isn't selected as captain of Auckland ITM Cup - which then opens up to the possibility of him being dropped on form, which should have happened last season.</p>
