[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1093220, member: 65365"] Like one of the lesser NZ super rugby teams playing their first game of the season I don’t know how much super rugby you watch, so if the answer is none then think back to 2017 lions tour; from memory only the blues and crusaders had their all blacks, so this team would be more like one of the other teams from 2017 in terms of player quality except playing their first game of the season and noting the hurricanes had won super rugby the year before, the highlanders two years prior, and the chiefs still had rennie. The weaknesses in the team, apart from rustiness, are they have one loose forward starting who has only played a few minutes of super rugby, their reserve loose forward has played a handful of games, one of their wingers and their reserve lock have been injured most of the season, their first five hasn’t played a lot this season and their reserve first five hasn’t played a lot at first five, their hooker was awful at throwing on the wet and pressure during the super rugby final and their reserve hooker isn’t a renowned thrower.
