Makeshift Rovers
Land Rovers Captain Steve Hall was a late withdrawal from the Division 7 opener against Ten Left Feet. Hall was "stuck in the Manawatu" and with team star Eddie Hussey unavailable and with Chris Riddle injured, Charlie Smith will be leading out a makeshift team for round one. "I expect Charlie to get us home against these guys as we beat them comfortably last season, but it won't be easy in the circumstances." Hall said Rovers would need to show a strong commitment to covering and tackling to build a foundation for a win. "We've been a pack of girls for the last few weeks so it is time to rectify that". Hall confirmed that Smith should be watching the World Cup final in the morning for a few pointers, and said if Smith could model himself on Zidane then he'd be doing well.
