Highlanders v Crusaders
-
@stargazer not new, been used for a few years at least
-
@kiwiwomble Never seen it before. I only know them as Highlanders development squad or Bravehearts.
-
@stargazer maybe i got lost, you know them as Bravehearts?
-
@kiwiwomble I know the Highlanders development team as (Highlanders) Bravehearts.
I think the Blues development team is called Blues 'A'. Not sure about the Chiefs. The Hurricanes development team is called the (Hurricanes) Hunters. I think, the Crusaders now call theirs Crusaders Development (it used to be Crusaders Knights).

@stargazer ok, i get where i got confused, i thought you were asking if "Bravehearts" was a new name...which made the following conversation very confusing
-
@kiwiwomble Haha, I think you missed the bit that I bolded in the quote that I posted!
-
@stargazer definitely, bold text doesn't show up on my comp very clearly

Highlanders team named to play Crusaders;
Really stoked to see Hugh Renton make the bench. He's been awesome in pre-season. A little disappointed to see TUJ not make the team, but hopefully he will get his chance when Tomkinson gets suspended. I'm rather excited to see what our back three can do and interesting to see that Hunt's early season and Mitre 10 Cup form got him the 10 spot ahead of Ioane.

@southernmann What's the word on Jack Regan? Is he NZ eligible?
-
what the hell kind of dirt has Sio got on the Landers management?
interesting Hunt gets the nod, Ioane really seemed to spark things when he came on, maybe an 80 min game plan? maybe planning or really speeding things late in the game with fatatava and Ioane
no selby-rickit?

@kiwiwomble said in SRA 2021 Round 1: Highlanders v Crusaders:
maybe planning or really speeding things late in the game with fatatava and Ioane
With no specialist openside cover?

@kiwimurph i really wish we'd settle for a few games, we saw Collins got much better after three or four games there last year
-
fuck it...just reading Fetuli Paea is out for the season
...more backline focused
