Well deserve young Esan..

They'll probably line up along the lines of:

1\. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak
2\. Jamayne Isaako
3\. Peta Hiku
4\. Esan Marsters
5\. Ken Maumalo
6\. Te Maire Martin
7\. Kodi Nikorima
8\. Nelson Asofa-Solomona
9\. Issac Luke
10\. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves
11\. Joseph Tapine
12\. Raymond Faitala-Mariner
13\. Martin Taupau

14\. Herman Ese’ese
15\. Leeson Ah Mau
16\. James Fisher-Harris
17\. Slade Griffin

…it's a good forward pack and there's some talent in the backs but the halves look a real weakness.

Be interesting how they go playing at altitude. Not for the faint hearted.

 

[WT2K]

James Hooper whilst on MMM this arvo said 20k tickets already sold for the game. cbs also purchased the rights to the game for the North American market. I won't be waking up for it though.

Is wing the new fullback..?

Rip in Esan..

 

[Geo]

Esan MARSTERS..TRY on debut…kisses the fern

NZ 6 Pommies 0...

 

[Geo]

Marsters curves up the Pommy centre again..Kiwis go close..

 

[jadtiger]

Marsters playing well as is the whole kiwi side

 

[Geo]

Another split by Marsters and Dallin Watene-Zelezniak drops the offload..bombed..

Drinks..

 

[jadtiger]

Marsters running great lines but he gives a poor pass and ball is dropped with a try on

 

[Geo]

Another bust from Marsters comes to nothing as Isaako drops it with an open line in front of him..

 

[Geo]

Poms don't want to tackle as Luke splits them and Watene-Zelezniak backs up to score..

NZ 12 Poms 0

Try Kiwis the difference in fitness levels may be starting to be a factor at altitude/temperature
