Auckland have announced their squad for this year's NPC & it is a real mixture of experience & youth.  Apart from the signing of Morland & Berquist they have have also gained Daniel Braid & Brent Ward from overseas & also Ben Atiga from his self-imposed exile in the wilderness.
 
On the other side of the equation two NZ Colts, openside Sean Polwart (certainly one to watch out for) & lock Liaki Moli, make the squad for the first time.
 
I expect this team to do better than the poor efforts of the previous two seasons.
