    @Frank I can't find it anymore, but I read somewhere they're aiming to get him ready for the game v Crusaders. Makes sense.

    He was three weeks away from even being considered for selection when they announced his signing. And then was looked as midfield and maybe fullback cover (basically the role that Plummer is doing I guess).

    Be nice to have him off the bench in one game at Eden Park.

    Not a fan of giving Marchant a run.

    It weakens fullback cover for this match and it's a change that doesn't improve squad depth

    @Kiwiwomble yeah. Yet tomkinson is a great winger, Walden is ten times the 12 he is, Hunt is a passable fullback and shit ten, Gatland is a decent ten.

    Selection is an absolute farce but has to be expected in teams infected with Hammett.

    @Bones im not sure i'd even say sio is he was a great winger but walden is better in the midfield definitely

    Koroi is actually a really good 10, very attacking/creative....yeah...nervous

    really happy with our forward pack, think we can at least go toe to toe if not win...only issue will be the new rules and if they will hinder us and then we'll either

    1. try and go wide and get a bit caught out
    2. try a kicking game and that blues back three will punish us

    The Highlanders have won 5 of the last 6 matches between the sides. Including 2 of the last 3 at Eden Park

    Clearly they should be favourites. I think the underdogs have a reasonable chance though

    Rubbish. You're using feelings. I'm using logic. The undefeated Highlanders are favourites

    Not to mention the blues will get penalised off the park in the first half and Josh is yet to miss a kick in SRA.
