Ahh good, home town advantage we should coast home. i had heard it was in Samoa and I would have given them the edge for an upset in their neck of the woods.
Just noticed Thomas has been dropped - harsh call but I am ok with it, As long as he gets another go he really gave it his all the other night.
Best 3/4 line. Although personally and I'm probably the only one, I'd genuinely consider playing Lafai at 5/8
Well Aus and NZ rorted them of Nu Brown and Milford so that fucked them. But then they left out Tuimaveve, who's not a fan of tackling, but a genuine threat in attack.
We have less of a home field advantage than i thought. News is that 18 buses have been hired to ship Samoan supporters from south auckland to Whangerei for the game.
