Kiwi Team for Game 2

[Manu Vatuvei]

Remember when the Warriors made that charge to the gf a few years ago? Tony was coming off the bench at hooker and went awesome.

No. When the Warriors made the grand final he played every game of the finals series at 6.

Anyway, great team, I couldn't be happier. We've lost 2 players to injury and replaced them with superior players anyway The bench is awesome. The only weakpoint imo is the starting backrow. I'm surprised Pritchard has been dropped, but I think it would have been harsh to drop Solomona, imo he looked very dangerous on the weekend, which surprised me. We need either Pritchard or Solomona starting to get some balance in the backrow, cos Anderson and Kidwell are plodders.

Lol, 99% of Kiwis don't have a clue who Luke Covell is, not do they care.

Just to get you guys in the loop. There are bloody awesome white guys in the game over here but Aucklands development policies and personel who pick the rep teams over here never pick them in the rep sides cause they always go for big. Its hard to crack it here as a white 13 to 18 year old. So my guess is they leave the game. The Warriors junior development is the same.

I wouldn't go that far. Just hardly any whitebread people make it. It's very much an islander and maori game even at schoolboy level, the whitebreads play Rugby.

I'm not being rascist, I'm Maori myself.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Apart from Se'e Solomona and no Pritvchard its a f**king exciting team

 

[tlk]

where the f**k is luke covell?????
his the best dame player in the f**kn squad!!!!

 

[varion]

Kiwis have a sensational bench.

Swap and Start Puletua and Solomona for the Bench and that would of even been better.

Should be a great match if the Kiwi's can lift again tonight
