Halani Aulika another good name

 

[IKALETAHI]

True another mobile prop who can run the Ball. People seem to criticise his ability at scrum time along with the other core prop duties, But after watching him get the better of Ben Afeaki (ALL BLACKS TRAINING Squad) along with his all round performances during the ITM Cup He should easily replace Tonga Lea'aetoa in the Final RWC squad.

Soane Tonga'uiha
Sona Taumalolo
Kisi Pulu
Taufa'ao Filise
Halani Aulika

Depth at Prop is looking good any of them could go.

Tonga Lea'aetoa has been poor in his games for Tonga this year. I think Halani Aulika should def replace him in the final RWC squad.

Heading for Tonga next week are (from left) Matt Blair, Simon Body and Scot Puckett. They are surrounded by a GPS tracking device system and a set of timing gates at Logan Park

Def man. Since their not pooled or likely to meet Samoa come RWC (Highly unlikely anyway) I think they can do well and maybe push for an upset or two. Looking at the squad they have been slowly but steadily adding more and more firepower to the team as more players are making themselves available. I hope it can be a sign of things to come for Samoa with more Super rugby players putting their hands up and pledging allegiance. If it can make the team stronger then better late then never.
To the Super rugby players on the fence on whether to make themselves eligible and available to the P.I nations. A rugby world cup at home is a once in a lifetime opportunity that will not come again during their careers. TAKE THE STEP AND PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE !!
