WELLINGTON CHAMPION LOCKS UNWANTED

Michael from Trentham

Wellington Lions won the 2024 NPC rugby title and they did it through an unmatched pack of forwards foremost. And in the "engine room" were its outstanding young locks Akira Ieremia (ex St Pats Silverstream) and Hugo Plummer.

Yet neither were selected among the Hurricanes squad with its six locks nor picked up by any of the other franchises - and this includes Australian teams plus Fiji and Pacifica. So these two players who fit the bill in all aspects are not rated among the top 70 locks in three countries plus the smaller Pacific islands.

It simply should not be so.

Ieremia is 1.92m tall and around 120kg. He can also play backrow. Plummer is 1.98m tall and around 120kg.
