[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 624228, member: 20892"] The Blues have named their squad: Charles Piutau, Frank Halai, Jackson Willison Francis Saili, George Moala, Chris Noakes, Piri Weepu; Peter Saili, Luke Braid (c), Steven Luatua, Tom Donnelly, Liaki Moli, Charlie Faumuina, James Parsons, Ofa Tu'ungafasi,. Reserves: Tom McCartney, Sam Prattley, Angus Ta'avao Patrick Tuipulotu, Brendon O'Connor, Bryn Hall, Benji Marshall, Tevita Li. Marshall has been relegated to the bench, and Kirwan has wisely opted for Willison and Saili as the midfield combination with Moala switching back on to the bench. It will be great to see Tu'ungafasi get his first start at this level - I was surprised we didn't see more of him last season. Also good to see Tevita Li on the bench, who showed lots of promise last year, playing his first game for the Blues (against France too!) while he was still at high school! Having seen the team, I take back what I said about the Highlanders winning. I think the Blues will take it, Willison offers a steadying hand in the midfield and as long as the likes of Piutau and Haili fire I think they'll be too strong for the Highlanders. [/QUOTE]
