Does anyone know much about Tuli Paea?
-
Disappointing not to see Tom Florence in the mix. Really impressed last year and he outplayed Papalii when they took on Auckland. The Naki do have some quality loosies though.

Florence is used more as a 7 for the Naki, and won't start ahead of Boshier. Parete isn't playing in this game either, an indication of their depth at lock/loose forward.

Ta$man Mako to play Canterbury
What date is the All Black squad for RWC named? The tournament itself is only 8 weeks away, so I'd assume pretty soon after TRC concludes.
In which case, it seems to me that if Liam Squire had much intention of playing at the World Cup, he'd be playing in this game.

The Northland Mitre 10 squad is: Ross Wright, Isileli Tuungafasi, Boyd Wiggins, Jack Straker, Tom Stevens, Barnaby Abdale-Weir, Coree Te Whata-Colley, Jordan Olsen, Paddy-Jo Atkins, Nick Hyde, Josh Goodhue, Sam Caird, Temo Mayanavanua, Sean Sweetman, Jaycob Matiu, Matt Matich, Aorangi Stokes, Tom Robinson, Sam McNamara, Kane Jacobson, Sam Nock, Harrison Levien, Tom Smith, Will Grant, Jack Debreczeni, Dan Hawkins, Corey Taylor, Jack Goodhue, Rene Ranger, Tamati Tua, Blake Hohaia, Matty Johnson, James Cherrington, Jordan Hyland, Scott Gregory, Renata Roberts-Te Nana, Pisi Leilua, Jonty Rae

Preseason results:
North Harbour 12 - 43 Bay of Plenty
Canterbury 33 - 22 Ta$man
Taranaki 21 - 52 Auckland -
@Stargazer Damn, thought that Taranaki pack looked strong.
-
@Tim It was 21 - 19 to Taranaki at half time. The reserves must have made the difference. Taranaki didn't score a single point in the second half.
@Stargazer Also saw on twitter that Taranaki had a big wind behind them in the first half.
-
Went to the game. Taranaki were good in the first half. Boshier was good. Naholo was good. The fullback was good. Sowakula was good. Auckland were really good in the second half. Rayasi was great. Plummer was good in the second half. A few unknowns for me but Auckland were far better on the day.
-
@Yeetyaah How did O'Neill look after such a long time away with injury? Thinking about Chiefs selection here.
-
Just read the following in the Sonny Bill story:
Counties Manukau play a game of three halves against Bay of Plenty and Wellington in Kaikohe on August 3
Wha ... ?

@Stargazer are you the spell checker this evening?
