Manawatu vs Hawkes Bay

[TRF_woosaah]

Hawkes Bay won this match up last year 17-9 away from home. Now they are home in Napier it is hard to go past them this year as well.

Teams are probably named, but I cant find them.

The game is in Palmerston North mate at FMG stadium aka the boneyard. It's the Manawatu 125th Jubilee match so expecting a big game from the green and whites. Good to see Jonny Leota back in there. Milner-Skudder at fullback is an exciting player which is what the Turbos have lacked in the back 3 in the past few seasons. Should be a good game, expecting the halves combo of Smith and Cruden to have big games.

I think this is the Manawatu Line up:
Milner-Skudder, Cama, Leota, Bryant, Tikoturama, Cruden, Smith, Gosling, Gibbins, Crosswell, FitzGerald, Stone, Fia, Foreman, Polson.
