interesting, i didn't realise Brown is contracted directly with the highlanders rather than NZR unlike all other coaches

@Bovidae said in Highlanders 2021:
You would think that the Highlanders board wouldn't have sacked Mauger without having a replacement coach lined up.
Unless the rumours about him losing respect of players have some weight.
That's a separate issue from succession planning
-
@kiwi_expat got any more goss?
-
@Bones mystery solved
-
@Kiwiwomble 😂
-
@Kiwiwomble is that because they were both absent from the field????
-
@Kiwiwomble the invisible man. Well it seems the chiefs couldn't see him anyway....
-
another Crusader coming south, which side does he prefer?
a lot of this highlight video seems to be him getting tackled, looks like he's a 23 for Ta$man, think we really want a super rugby starter...

He hasn't started much for Ta$man
He got a start for the Crusaders at 13 v the Canes. He struggled a bit marking PUJ

Paea effectively replaces Highlanders midfielder Rob Thompson, who is moving overseas next year.
-
@Tim i hadn't heard Thompson was heading overseas, sad end to his Landers carrier, far from his best season, wiki had him listed as a wing and thats where he played against us, more of a midfielder though?
edit: my mistake, thought he started wearing 11
The Tongan made his Super Rugby debut for the Crusaders in the midfield against the Highlanders earlier this year, and is regarded as a strong ball carrier who cover multiple positions.
