[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 484597, member: 24910"] I'd expect O'Donnell will start on the right wing next week to fill the void left by Masaga. He has certainly got some talent, but is a complete rookie at this level. The other options within the current squad (Nemani and Tikirotimu) are also rookies at this level. I think Nemani has big future at this level (he's strong, very fast, and a powerful defender), but he's barely even played any ITM Cup level rugby yet. If they choose to call someone in from outside their current squad (which I don't think they will unless Masaga's injury is far worse than first thought), Mikkelson would be an obvious choice - he has been there before, and is playing well on the Sevens circuit (likewise Frank Halai has looked great on the 7's circuit, but he never seems to perform as well in the XV's game). The other main option would be Ashee Tuala (Counties) - he's another strong player who has been around the Chiefs setup for the last couple of seasons, without ever fully making the step-up into the main squad.
