@j77 yes I expect our lack of pace will be cruelly exposed.

@stargazer maybe one of the Vince Aso’s is Wes Goosen/Billy Proctor

@stargazer disappointing. That was a near full strength non AB CM side. Only really ENS missing.

[Stargazer]

@crucial Haven't seen the Magpies' line-up, so can't say whether I'm happy with the final score. I'm happy with the win though.

@stargazer if we had the two Vince Aso’s on the field at the same time that would’ve made the difference.

Score was 38-33 to Bay of Plenty over Harbour

I dunno who the locks were
That was the Magpies starting XV

[Stargazer]

@nogusta Cheers, but Renton plays for Ta$man! Did he play at no.8? It wasn't Evans? Or O'Connor?

Did Visinia play on the wing? Was the fullback Tiaan Falcon? Or was the "?" a wing with a rat-tail? In that case, it was Tuitavuki.

@nogusta @Stargazer Forgive me for my ignorance but who is the guy Stones you have at loosehead?

[Stargazer]

@higgins Rakete-Stones.

[Higgins]

@stargazer Thanks, silly me not thinking of that!!!!

Highlights of Wellington vs Manawatu

[Nogusta]

@stargazer my bad re Renton. Not sure who the 8 was then. Flanders played at 6. Visinia was at fullback, Jonah Lowe right wing.
