NZ Tri-Nations Squad

[Kim Possible]

I laugh so hard... there is a million players I'd play in the backline infront of Covell. I mean if this list isn't enough.. you've got guys like Vainakolo and Talau to choose from in the UK

yea but then half of the uk guys wont play

 

[Kim Possible]

Yea i wrote the squad a day before they announced that they werent playing. Sucks man. Also someone was saying something about Covell in buncey's list. Vainikolo plays great in England but when he plays for New Zealand he doesnt do much. Look what happened last year. He done nothing. Wasnt even an effective on the offensive side of the ball. He may score millions of tries in ESL but its a totally different ball game when he is versing Australia.

You didnt seriously think Benji and Dene were gunna play did u?

I rekon they can give Australia and England a run for their money. Add SBW and Marshal to the team and its bloody strong IMO

This 21 man side isnt much anyway, because once more ESL guys become available, a lot of them won't even get a look in.

1. Webb
2. Vatuvei
3. Vagana
4. Hape
5. Vainikolo
6. Paul
7. Jones
8. Rauhihi
9. L Anderson/ Hohaia/ Faiumu/ Swain (Has he made himself available again?)
10. Asotasi
11. Puletua
12. Lauiti'iti/ Wiki
13. Wiki/ V Anderson

14. Talau/ Tony/ V Anderson
15. Solomona
16. Pritchard

Thats something like what Id go for when they go to England.

This w/e

1. Webb
2. Toopi
3. Vagana
4. Whatuira
5. Vatuvei
6. Tony
7. Jones
8. Rauhihi
9. Hohaia/ Faiumu
10. Asotasi
11. Puletua
12. Wiki
13. Pritchard

14. Faiumu/ Hohaia
15. Solomona
16. Kidwell
17. N Cayless

For mine Iosia Soliola shouldn't be anywhere the test side at the moment, Vagana and Whatuira are much better centres than him, and Toopi can fill in on the wing. Its really hurt them that Utai is out, and it would be good for them if Henry Fa'Fili would get off his ass and come and play over here this w/e.

If Toopi goes crap, I'd move Faiumu to hooker, Hohaia to 5/8 and put Tony out on the Wing.

 

[Mitch Connor]

its coz soliola is black isnt it.
