    Is Banks favorite to be the starter at 10 this season?

    I'm a bit of a fan of Ioane. I think he's really rounded out his game nicely. He is somewhat similar to Sopoaga, but he attacks the line a bit more than Sopoaga did.

    Some players lose their confidence after such displays. I hope Banks is not among them. He's a good all round player and his kicking from tee is second to none in the Highlanders squad.

    Ah ah ! I was referring to Banks's disastrous final against Canterbury two years ago.

    @shark said in Highlanders 2019 Discussion:

    Holy crap, admittedly I don't follow the Waratahs much at all but there are so few names in that line up that I recognise, it's crazy.

    perhaps this is why

    RESTED: Michael Hooper, Israel Folau, Sekope Kepu, Tolu Latu, Rob Simmons, Ned Hanigan, Jack Dempsey, Nick Phipps, Bernard Foley, Kurtley Beale, Damian Fitzpatrick (calf), Adam Ashley-Cooper.
    

    Taking a rest from getting soundly beaten?

    Dammit. Only just now I discovered that the PS game is livestreamed!

    Can't be bothered to see if the Landers have another link.

    After 2 x 30 minutes, the Highlanders are leading 38 -31. A bit of a comeback in the last 15 minutes, because when I posted the link to the livestream, they were trailing 24 - 31. Another 30 minutes to go.

    Full time: Highlanders 59 - 38 Waratahs

    I've seen more buffering than rugby, and the commentating by BFA and Dickson was funny, but often not about the rugby, so not much info. I hope I can re-watch this game at a later time & see more of the game.

    Good start for the Landers, but as we know, preseason game wins or losses don't really give a good indication of where a team is at.

    I thought that Selby-Ricketts had declined this year's selection in the Highlanders squad in order to add a few kgs of muscle.

    H/T v Crusaders 14-7 to Crusaders. Pretty uneventful half Crusaders dominating possession and territory. Coleman and Parkinson strong for Highlanders. Crusaders backs look sharpe but Mataele is very dangerous for them.

    Jordan scores in last minute for Crusaders win. Very open in end. Fakatava looks a prospect and Jordan looked likely every time he touched it.
