Thought I'd start a thread.
Just seen Canterbury team named.
Canterbury: Tom Taylor, Patrick Osborne, Adam Whitelock, Ryan Crotty, Johnny McNicholl, Tyler Bleyendaal, Andy Ellis, Nasi Manu, George Whitelock (c), Luke Whitelock, Luke Katene, Joel Everson, Nepo Laulala, Ben Funnell, Joe Moody. Reserves: Marcel Cummings-Toone, Paea Fa'anunu, Dominic Bird, Jordan Taufua, Willi Heinz, Rob Thompson, Colin Slade.
Pretty good side! When you have All Blacks (Bird and Slade) on the bench you know you are doing OK.
Also note the inclusion of Tom Taylor at full back, Crotty at 12, Ellis starts at 9, and Moody starting. Pretty good Canterbury team but are they going to be good enough on the day to beat the form side of the comp??
And now Wellington named as well.
Wellington: Charlie Ngatai, Matt Proctor, Tim Bateman, Shaun Treeby, Alapati Leiua, Lima Sopoaga, Frae Wilson, Victor Vito (capt), Ardie Savea, Brad Shields, Api Naikatini, Mark Reddish, Jeffery Toomaga-Allen, Motu Matu'u, John Schwalger. Reserves: Reggie Goodes, Eric Sione, Kaipati Gaualofa, Faifili Levave, Adam Hill, Tomasi Palu, Joe Hill
EDIT: Added L Whitelock @ 6 & added Paea Fa'anunu on the bench.
