He has played once, then got injurred and for last few games has been in NZ getting married, something Tigers agreed to as part of his contract, as they have with many of their overseas players. He apparently returned this week.

Tough for Daniel Bowden as he could be in the Maori All Blacks team.

Will be very exciting to see how Matt Tait does at #15, a strong Maori side but Tigers should be favorites, playing week in, week out with each other, at home, and although it may be a side missing some influential players like Cole, Flood, Youngs etc its hardly a weakened side
