Apparently, George Bridge played very well for Crusaders Development XV, last weekend, and will be available for this game as well.
Bit of a conundrum for Razor; who do you leave out if you bring him in?
Some of your best work bro 😁

It wouldn't surprise me at all if Razor comes with a few selection surprises, this week. Like starting Burke, or something like that. And maybe a rookie forward in the 23, for example Tamaiti Williams.
I think McLeod is going to lose his spot in the 23 to Bridge.

jesus, we havent played the same fullback two games in a row, Sio finally gets dropped though. im assuming Ioane has a niggle as Makene on the bench

It be seems 6 players stood down for the Highlanders
Ioane again"Brown explained that the players had "broken the code" of the team and were dropped as a result.
"There's six guys who are unavailable through letting the team down around their standards; broke the code that we live by and it's all around their professional habits," he said."
damn it, ioane hasn;t been playing well enough to take the piss and people like MMT should be looking at stepping up

damn it
Seems to be a culture problem at the Highlanders
Josh Ioane seems to be involved a lot in that stuff
Good on Tony Brown for putting his foot on it. -

@stargazer Ioane was benched last year for breaching Otago rules
