    Look at the quality that can’t make the Tongan team ?

    What club does Fanitesi Niu play for next year? He was ballsy against England last week

  2. Kiwis, yeah but the spine still looks a bit fragile. That said, I thought Lolohea played really well last week and Hoppa’s isn’t the worst FB.
    I think Niu is with the Bronco’s, but yeah, for a young guy, and I don’t think FB is (or at least wasn’t) his position, he was impressive.

  3. KiwisalldayFUausie – I’d have Staggs in the Centres intead of Hurell. I love Hurrell but I think the Australian Centres might carve him up in attack. He’s a bit slow to foot it with Mitchell and Wighton. Hurrell has to be there some though.
