Kris Inu big call up at such a young age. But the Kid has got it.

Can someone delete my other post please.........

 

[Utey]

Considering the quality of the opposition and playing at fullback....this may just show if he is ready for the step up some people are calling for.....i still think he is 1 yr away from 1st grade but you never know!

Inu looks like a superstar in that back 5. Covell, Carmont and Tupou are all duds, and Koopu is a great player but he's a backrower. If the Kiwi's win by some miracle, he'll have to score at LEAST twice.

Tupou is the next Jonah Lomu!

Tupou is the next Jonah Lomu

The next Lomu is currently in the NZ squad!!!!

yeh Vatuvai is good too.

 

[Kornstar]

That is awesome for Inu, this is a great test for him!

 

[Stagger eel]

I was told by a friend of Inu's today that he was playing but for some reason I didn't believe him, I must apologise to him tomorrow!

btw, Holic found out last night yhat Marcus Perenara was going for an operation on his shoulder, basically the reason why he's not playing on the weekend.

I think that team will cop a serious hiding, but good to, see some young Eels in there

 

[Hurriflatch]

The Australian Team that will be playing this mob isn't really THAT strong, they should still win but I'm expecting this match to be closer then the main game.

Great news for Inu I thought it was a little early to bring him in but if he proves himself then it will be all the better for the rest of his career.

Bad news about Marcus but at least it was only injury that kept him out and not BullSh** politics.

Wow, was Kris Inu named in their original 40 man sqaud? If so I missed his name...

Either way it's a great call-up to get named at this level at fullback. Good on him, and the other two Eels!

no he wasn't.

IMO on INU is that The Kiwis don't want to have another Karmeichal Hunt situation so they are blooding them early.

I'm a little spun out with the fact that they are playing him at fullback, I can't remember him playing there at all this year, I hope his up for the challenge.
