    Missed Hika Elliot starting for Mahonri Schwalger, as long as Kerr Barlow doesn’t run around looking for his head, changes in starting lineup should work out fine.

    Kahui is a big loss, but I still think they’ll be too strong for the bulls

    I’d have Schwalger starting ahead of Elliot.
    Bulls to scrape it by 6′IMO.

    @Te Rangatira(Te Rangatira)-3: tawera annoying in the game against the sharks, he was so indecisive and got nabbed with ball a couple of times which is why rennie went with the electrifying albeit inexperienced pulu, which turned out to be charm as he bamboozled the guppys to score @ the death.

    @EP Till I Die(Transformation)-18:
    You got that right, was lucky Sharks were had a poor game too, should have pulled him earlier, still can’t believe he made the Abs training squad,will have to look at his stats.
    What I would say he brings ….is a point of difference with his unorthodox compared to most other halfbacks

    No idea how Kerr-Barlow was in the ABs wider training group. Fine young player, but Smith and Perenara have been far ahead of him this year, at least among NZ #9s
