Highlanders v French Barbarians
-
Absolutely incredible! Does this team confirm that the Highlanders now have all 38 squad members available for play and NOBODY injured currently (outside of Squire doubtful for Saturday)? Mikaele Tu'u is the only replacement player - covering those in the AB's. Compared to other franchises with up to 20 players injured and unavailable, this is unheard of in Super Rugby. What is in the water down there? Or do they play tiddly-winks at training lol?

Interesting to see Dickson at blindside. Never struck me as the kind of player who would be anything other than lanky lock.
Well when you have you four of your blindside options in the All Backs you have to scratch around a bit.

Reckon Rob Thomas or the Barracuda would've aced it.

They could have just played Dixon at 6 and Mikaele-Tu'u at 8 if they wanted proper loosies - so looks like they're wanting to give him a try there.
