    tamati ellison has sustained a calf injury and pulled out of the allblacks squad for tomorrows game.
    20 year old zach guildford has been called on to the bench to replace him.this is the same stadium his father died in this summer while watching him scoring two tries on the way to winning the under 20's world cup final against england.his father had a heart attack in the stand and died during the game. he promised his father in tokyo that one day he would be an allblack and tommorow his dream comes true.
    i for one hope he gets on and scores.
    his form in the air new zealand cup is impressive( 14 tries in 12 games),in albeit a modest competition.
    he has ousted rocokoko from the squad so best wishes.hopefully a star in the making after such a tragic summer for the chap

    Great for him, can't imagine the emotions when he walks out the tunnel. remember reading about it few months back, awful.

    Up early tomorrow morning, looking forward to it.

    this suggests he didn't make the bench in the end.
