@SouthernMann im fine with not giving it away, youve paid for it and its worth the money to you...its just the coming on just to point out you have "the inside word", why not just wait until we can actually talk about things?

Lol Fakatava falls behind Hastie.
Wouldn’t read into that at all. As I said above, it’s been stated he didn’t work through a full pre season so I suspect they’ll manage his minutes the first few weeks.
The more interesting selection is Manson getting a starting spot after being promised a bench spot!

Arscott has completely fallen off the cliff too.
Interesting that the great hope Millar has been shelved for Robinson. Especially having started in the two pre-season games.
Excited by the wingers. Just don't know who is going to pass them the ball.
I thought Lasaqa may have started over Withy.
A bit shocked we are persevering with DLB.

I wouldn’t read too much into Millar being ‘Shelved’ I think he and Fakatava are being eased into a long season and I’d view this as something as a rest week given they’ll have large workloads.
Daniel Lienert Brown actually looked really sharp last week. Wonder if JJ lit a bit of a fuse under him. Remember that in the 2016-7 period a lot of people felt he’d be an all black. He’s always had potential just needs good coaching to bring it out.
Naeta at six suprises me, but he did have a good game last week. Nice to see JJ rewarding form. I’m excited for this game.

Yeah you’ll see in the landers press conference on YouTube that he mentions Fakatava not having a full pre season due to off season knee surgery. Nothing to read into in round 1, fair few sure starters aren’t starting for NZ sides.

For the highlanders, I just hope we see the beginnings of an actual game plan and the players being able to stick to a plan and execute.
Also, does Manson have his lawyers on the phone after being denied his guaranteed bench spot?

We're starting against the It'souryearatahs, so that title is up for grabs.

After the past 3-4 years, I’ll believe it when I see it

Weather looks real shit for tonight. Here comes plenty of kicking, dropping the ball, on off running and scrum resets.

Really? I'm in Sydney and it's pretty dry, the odd shower around but I don't think it will be too bad.
It's meant to pack in around kick-off. Thunder and lightning etc.
