  Not a very informative blog. You could have at least put the team list up.
  
  Kaysa ahead of King, no chance. Also that bench is too small with Smith, Scott & Edwards.
  
  I'd drop Smith and Beu for Matagi and Terepo

    King is a certainty and I wouldn’t rule him out playing the 80. That would then allow 4 forwards on the bench, but I would tinker with that against different opposition

  I know Mannah will be in the team
  But I'd rather see Evans and Alvaro to start
  And have Matagi and Vave Takairangi and Edwards on bench
  King ahead of Kaysa by a mile

  I agree, I think BA will start with both Mannah & Evans.

  Pritchard and King will fight out for the 9 spot in the trials same as last year.  In training pics both look in good shape and injuries will play a big part in who plays.

  There was a bit on the midday news showing JH at training and I thought it was Vave but now realise it looked more like Matagi who overtook in running around the park.  JH, seems to be a long way behind in fitness, and needs to really pick up in that area if he is to be picked in the run on squad.  If he does not measure up for a top spot inclusion, I wonder if he would end up on the bench as I cannot see him at Wenty.  A big change in training attitude will be needed for him to get close to a reasonable fitness level to play 80 minutes methinks.

  If he does, it will be good to see him on the field.

  I think BA will stick with Jennings on the right side were he found Scintillating form
  last yesar, i agree with Takerangi missing out just, and with scott being our co captain he will be on the bench, Matagi gets the last spot for mine. Evans will have to bide his time.
