John Afoa

Obviously, my big man, he's not there.

He's injured to my teeth.

He's my, he's a guy, you know what I mean?

I think about his size, his presence, what he can do on the field.

And for me, the big sort of moment, I was like, oh, 100%, this is the guy, was when they'd gone up to Hamilton.

Crusaders weren't the favourites.

He was the guy that sort of got them over the line.

When there was all that sort of biff, he was the guy.

He was in the front in the Chiefs' faces.

He was doing the damage in the scrums.

He was bashing rucks.

And I talked to him after the game and he just felt like he was the one that got the upper hand and the Chiefs didn't want it.

and so with that so he's missing but i like bauer i'm a big fan of bell too he's powerful he's energetic um i wouldn't be surprised if he starts you know i think he's got that pedigree he's played tests before he's built like a loose head you know what i mean he's all ass and quads um he's small you know what i mean you only hear this from somebody who knows i love that what a great quote

You know, I think Noumi is, he should be there.

But I think they'll ease his way into it.

The French will be difficult.

They'll be niggly.

You know, they'll be tough to scrum against.

And the Irish too.

So, you know, guys will need time just to get a feel of that.
