Yeah don't get the narrative that it will be the 'kids' against Wrexham.
Oluwayemi, Payne, Rufer, Retre, Nagasawa and Ishige all experienced pros.
Plus yes a host of guys coming into their 3rd ALM season.
Hughes, Sheridan, LKH and Conchie have played 20-40 Nix games now.
At the end of the day it's basically an exhibition game, with nothing but pride on the line. A big crowd, and English 2nd tier opponent - I hope the real kids like Supyk, LBS, GSR, Walker, Loke etc get decent mins. All good stuff for their development.
And yeah like Martinb also feel Supyk could go well this season. Watched him for NZU20s the 2nd game in Chile, and he went pretty well. The U20s were poorer when he went off hurt.
