North Harbour v Tasman
-
- Tele'a and Barham are back from injury this week, but I assume Banks is still injured.
- James Lay and Manu Paea making their debuts off the bench (Lay was in last year's squad but didn't play due to injury)
- Tima Fainga'anuku runs out for his 75th NPC game, including stints with this week's opponents, and Manawatu.
There are also four MP players in the Ta$man lineup (including Taumoefolau), who will be returning to the ground they called home during the Super Rugby season and going up against three of their teammates. No sign of Leicester though.

@UpTheHarbs said in North Harbour v Ta$man:
No sign of Leicester though.
Leicester probably needs a break - he's had a long French season, then baabaas and now Mako.
Was pretty untidy last week. I'd send him to the beach for a couple of weeks.
-
Think I heard on the radio that Leicester has a shoulder injury.
-
Late changes see Tele'a out, Hunter Rice promoted to make his debut off the bench.
-
Three tries for Ta$man in the first 14 minutes
-
@Higgins Our biggest losing margin was 65-10 to Canterbury in 2002. Last year's result against them was almost the opposite (won 65-19)
Biggest margin in Division 1 overall was 97-3 to Auckland against King Country in 1993. -
31-0 done at half-time, will we be able to fight back in the second 40?
-
Ngininigini dots down from the scrum
-
An in and away and goes in untouched. Harbour defensive line all at sea
-
Why grubber kick????
-
Scrappy finish to this one given the big lead.
-
Brilliant try
