Perhaps I'm nervous re- no Brett. Hiku as full-back? Time will tell. I wasn't rapt with him on the wing so I'm glad Tooves left Jorge there.

I don't understand why some people are so apprehensive about Hiku playing fullback. It is his preferred position after all & he's actually a ball player unlike Taufua.
Commentators talking about Matai playing some fullback during the game, interesting to see if that actually happens (& how it goes if it does). Have to think that Taufua would move into the centers with Hiku going to the wing if that happens.

**** Matai hurt his ribs in warm up and is off the field.
