[QUOTE="Umaga's Witness, post: 1093764, member: 65365"] Apparently akira wasn’t fit for the first test, so I don’t know whether he’d have played if he was. Maybe maybe not. I can see them starting Scott at six again but starting tuipolotu first game back from Japan is a big call. Remember when retallick came back? He wasn’t up for the higher level of contact. Patty might be better for it though; he was immense at the start of the first super rugby aotearoa - coming out of lockdown. The rest allowed him to come in with huge energy and power. So I wouldnt be averse to him starting. I’m pretty keen to see a fit tuipolotu too, having played the fast game they play in Japan. Midfield and reserves will be interesting. My guess is havili starts and tupaea is on reserves but it all depends on how well havili has recovered from COVID. Personally I’d like to see sotutu on the reserves too; I think that should be his role long term - a skillful linking super sub. [/QUOTE]
