He's got some of the most exciting backline talent around, fleet feet capable of turning all sorts of tricks on the way to the tryline.
And Counties-Manukau coach Milton Haig reckons his side can also foot it with the Steamers if Mount Maunganui turns on another horror display of weather onSunday.
The forecast, once again, isn't flash. After two near washouts against Auckland and Manawatu, the Baypark weather barrage is in danger of becoming a fully-fledged curse.
"We've had a few wet ones - against Tasman it was raining the whole game - and we've trained a lot in wet weather up here," Haig said.
"It doesn't faze us and we certainly believe we've got a forward pack that doesn't mind grinding out a win.
"It's just a matter of making sure we adjust to the conditions.
"We still like to throw the ball around but we've just got to make sure we choose the right time to do it."
The Counties team could do worse than take a leaf out of their coach's book - Haig was a renowned wet-weather expert in his first-class career as a halfback for Southland and Bay of Plenty.
He was also an assistant coach of the Steamers under Vern Cotter and still lives in Tauranga, commuting to Pukekohe every week.
With Counties sitting two points ahead of the Bay on the ITM Cup table, Haig also knows what's at stake on Sunday.
"It's crucial for both teams. The reality is that if you want to stay in touch with the top half of the table, this weekend is pretty important to be able to do that.
"We've got three home games after this so it will really put us in a good position if we can get some points this weekend."
With Solomon King likely to play for the Steamers after a long injury layoff, Counties have had their own bit of good news with New Zealand sevens captain DJ Forbes eyeing a return after a long-standing knee injury.
King could replace Forbes in Delhi if the sevens skipper can't recover in time but Haig thinks his man will be ready.
"He's been training all week but he has to pass a fitness test and prove to the medics that he's going to be fully ready to go.
"The Commonwealth Games is still four weeks away so they're pretty pleased with the progress he's making."
