Can't believe Kenny has been left out, Taka is almost as big a protected species as Captain Soft Serve.
A player learning to transfer into a regular secondrower is in front of ur best bench player. The taka lovers will be creaming their pants
I would go with Edwards over Scott personally, but then again Scott is our co captain.
Kenny Edwards misses out, wonder if theres more to it than meets the eye there.
Id thought he'd have been a certainty for the 17, no Vave either, is vave injured?
Yeh Vave's injured. He had off-season surgery for something.
Vave playing for Wenty
No Kenny a huge call and a negative for us IMO. Love what he brings off the bench.
Only thing I didn’t expect is Edwards not in the team. Taka will need to step up to secure his position over Edwards. Other than that it is the squad I expected. Solid forwards, lethal backline. Alvaro and Mannah will wear them down, and let Evans use his size and Matagi his agression.
Exactly what i expected.
