@Bovidae Far out nearly a full strength team. Hopefully Waikato put out the same. Hopefully they actually announce their team too.

No chance. Who played against Hawke's Bay?

Looking at a photo on the Mooloo website it looks like Jahrome Brown is back from his stint with the Brumbies.

If the weather is OK I am tempted to drive down to Otorohanga.

@Bovidae That's probably the first time that Waisake and Kini play for the same team in the same game!

[Yeetyaah]

@Bovidae Yeah I'll probably head down too but not 100% sure.

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer A very strong backline when you add in Walden.

I like the old one better. I haven't seen any media about it yet.

[Yeetyaah]
