[QUOTE="ABs2011, post: 587938, member: 57663"] Game 1 teams named: A few changes for NH - Parsons out replaced by Niuia at hooker, Bef Afeaki comes in at prop and will captain the side. Brandon Nansen replaces Josh Olsen at lock. Big changes in the loosies with Scott Uren and Leigh Thompson starting. Bryn Hall starts at halfback with Helleur to the bench, and Nafi Tuitavake starts on the wing. [B]North Harbour Team: [/B] Greg Pleasants Tate, Raymond Niuia, Ben Afeaki - Captain, Chris Smith, Brandon Nansen, Jordan Manihera, Scott Uren, Leigh Thompson, Bryn Hall, Jon Elrick, David Raikuna, Tua Saseve, Pita Ahki, Nafi Tuitavake, Codey Rei, [B]Replacements:[/B] Adrian Smith, Alex Wooton, Irwin Finau, Malakai Ravulo/Zak Judge, Brenton Helleur, James Semple, Tevita Li 6 changes to the Counties team - New front row with prop Sam Aiono starting alongside hooker Hika Elliot and prop Jarrod Firth. Jimmy Tupou will start at lock, midfield pairing will be Rey Lee-Lo and Sam Vaka with Frank Halai on the starting on the wing. Simon Lemalu and Bundee Aki move to the pine joined by potential ITM Cup new caps, hooker Michael Lea and Samoan international Ki Anufe. [B]Counties Manukau:[/B] 15 Sherwin Stowers, 14 Ahsee Tuala, 13 Sam Vaka, 12 Rey Lee-Lo, 11 Frank Halai, 10 Baden Kerr, 9 Augustine Pulu 8 Fritz Lee (c), 7 Maama Vaipulu, 6 Adam Cathcart, 5 Jimmy Tupou, 4 Ronald Raaymakers, 3 Jarrod Firth, 2 Hika Elliot, 1 Sam Aiono. [B]Replacements:[/B] 16 Michael Lea, 17 Simon Lemalu, 18 Ryan Wilson, 19 Sean Reidy, 20 Kane Hancy, 21 Ki Anufe, 22 Bundee Aki. I didnt get to watch all of the NH game but did watch Counties get mauled by Wellington. Hard to pick a winner as a result but my sense is that Counties were beaten by a very good Wellington team and will bounce back. On paper they have a better side than NH and I think the scoreboard in the NH Auck game flattered NH as for the first 60min they were well outplayed. Counties by 10 for me! [/QUOTE]
