Two thirds from Otahuhu club to start against Wallabies for AB's for Mealamus 100th test
In what is definitely a first for my (and AucklandLauries!) old Rugby Club, Otahuhu will provide 2 of the three Auckland front rowers this weekend.

Keven Mealamu becomes the third 100th capped AB in what should be a momentous occasion for his family and the club as a whole.
Hopefully the celebrations will continue well after the match...

Whoops...sorry...
Charlie Faumuina is playing his forth test after replacing in 3 since June...
Keven Mealamu
The two and Woodcock make up the Auckland Blues front row...

I am trying to remember the last time when we last had two All Blacks starting in a test match, Surely it must have happened since Ron urlich and Barry Ashworth?

jeez I'm thick... Kevin Mealamu and Jerome Kaino, Kaino played for a couple of season at "Oats" before going to University. (the club that is not the tertiary education facility).
