The full team. A few new names in there and a few notable absentees (Graham, Fowles and Mckenzie). Mungo Mason is a great name for a rugby player. Can only assume his parents were big Blazing Saddles fans.

Brown
Jack Blain
Johnstone
Scott
VDM
Hickey
Kennedy

Schoeman
McInally
McCallum
Jamie Hodgson
Toolis
Ritchie
Watson
Mata

Replacements:
Sutherland, Cherry, Jack Stanley, Shiel, Fife, Taylor, Bennett, Socino, Dean, Baggott, Pyrgos, Nayalo, Mungo Mason, Hamilton, Hunter-Hill, Atkinson, Cecciarelli, Ford, Marfo
:lol: :lol:

Someone on Twitter said he's Scottish born but raised in NZ and was with the Chiefs.

Edit: Bit of googling -

Born in Scotland, Mungo came to Tauranga when he was two years old with his family. He attended Tauranga Boys’ College where he was Head Prefect in Year 13. Mungo has now been playing rugby for eight years and says he loves the camaraderie the sport offers. He has played in national competitions and has competed at a New Zealand representative level. He says that while rugby is a physical sport, at a higher level the mental side becomes equally important to develop. His rugby achievements include captaining the Tauranga Boys’ College 1st XV, Bay of Plenty U-18 and the Chiefs U-18s. He was also named Bay of Plenty U-18s player of the year and the New Zealand Barbarians Most Valuable Player.

Lots of prem games have been streamed on YouTube. Not sure why Edinburgh can't sort that.

Fife seems to be a fullback now.

That's the centre partnership I'd like to see. Decent looking team that.

Interesting to see how Hamilton goes. He's solid enough but I just don't see him with even nearly the potential of the other options. I hope nobody loses out too much at his expense.

That's a team I look forward to watching.

Hoping they don't crash and burn.

Yeah, bench is decent enough too. Is Nel injured though?

Has anyone signed up for Premier Sports yet? I just signed up to the online version but only on a month to month basis for now.

I've done the same.


I live abroad but it seems to be working through my proxy.
