    I hope that Raynal is not going to ruin this game, too.

      @taniwharugby LOL, don't want that either. Just want a game that's entertaining and where the lead role is not played by the ref.

                Three former Mako$ in that backline and another in the pack! 🙂

                  Interesting to see the dominance of European based players. Sign of the times I guess in regards to earning potential.

                            14 Albert Nikoro - West Scarborough - Vaiala/Vaiusu

                            A winger from west Scarborough? Not good enough to make the full Scarborough team?

                            I remember in the 95 World Cup, and it was quite amusing to see an unknown Auckland club rugby player like George Harder carving up against test opposition.

                            Somehow, I don't think this will be quite the same.

                            What League do they play in? Yorkshire?
                            That Samoa are calling up an amateur or semi-pro outside back from low level English club rugby is quite sad.

                              Not really, Nikoro has been close to Super rugby standard in the past - maybe they think they can get him up to standard?

                                Nikoro has bounced around a lot - Auckland, Ta$man, Waikato, Perth and now in the UK. I'm probably missing other stops.

                                  The Samoan back 3 would look a lot better with Melani Nanai and Matt Duffie in there instead of Tuala and Nikoro.

                                          WA club rugby? Not Yorkshire club rugby.

                                          Well, suppose he's conditioned to hard grounds then rather than a playing on cold Tuesday night v Grimsby etc ......
