    We have no idea what the breach of protocol was and the role in that from each individual player involved, so let's not jump to conclusions. MMT still has high potential. Josh Ioane, okay, he's a repeat offender, but he can still redeem himself by playing well. The others will probably never be All Blacks, but can still be good SR players.

    Let's not pretend that other players (including ABs) are saints and have never done anything wrong. This has come out because the Highlanders coaches have decided to make public there was a breach of protocol, but coaches of other squads may face the same issues and chose to deal with it differently and behind closed doors.

    No need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

    Mils pissed in a bar.....Sivi hit his wife.....Zac got nude, punched someone and pissed in a bar......they all had great AB careers.

    Well, one definitely did anyway.

    @taniwharugby i wont bag the coaches for not selecting these guys but i do want to know what the deal with Aliamalo is though, he was a big signing but we've only seen him once

    Brown said neither Alaimalo nor Milner-Skudder were in the selection picture for the Hurricanes game, with Alaimalo “unwell” and a few weeks away from playing.

    “He's still a few weeks off coming back in and being at his best,” Brown said of Alaimalo. “He's actually a bit unwell at the moment, so we're not able to select him.”

    @stargazer i get the sentiment but i think getting stepped down for a game does suggest its more than a molehill

    i don't think anyone on here is calling for them to be sacked or something, as i a highlanders fan im just a bit disappointed they done something thats got them excluded from a big game, reminds me of highlanders teams of old, they get to the point where theyre too far off the pace and so just give up on the season

    @bobily2 oh yeah, forgot about that, wonder what he has to know he'll be unwell for weeks

    @kiwiwomble I remember how the Hurricanes stood down a few of their players during their South Africa tour, including Ardie Savea, and left them out of the following game's line-up. IIRC, all they had done was returning to their hotel late (not being drunk). It can be something really simple.

    @stargazer team rules.

    Thats where team culture starts.

    We've all heard plenty of stories about things happening (at all levels) and often this ties in with teams having poor seasons.

    Just hope these guys are getting the mentoring they need too, I mean Ioane now has 2 marks on his career already (if he plays well enough, it wont stop him making the step into Black again) with 2 different teams

    You cannot deny that the Crusaders don't get the rub of the green. Ludacris

    Where's @Crucial - here's some evidence for his Crusaders favouritism.

    That was an idiotic decision that is the opposite of nearly every other decision.

    Here we go. Crusaders rub yet again.

    Jordan tackled a player in the air despite being obstructed and doesn't even get penalised.
