<p>Fisi'ihoi is a LHP, isn't he ? Can he play THP as well or will Hames replace Yamashita during the second spell ?</p>

[antipodean]

<p>That'll be too good for the Rebels if your tighthead can stay up.</p>

[ACT Crusader]

Nathan Harris back and into the starting lineup. Good news<br><br><br>

Rennie said Fisi'ihoi has been working hard with Hoeft the past few weeks to upskill as a TH.

<p>How so? If you're talking about the Canes game a few weeks back, they have to declare what position their props cover before the game.</p>

<p>Because after said game Rennie said he was incapable of playing tighthead.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>which is why he has been training to be able to cover TH I expect?</p>

[SammyC]

<p>Which, as Smudge says, is very convenient</p>

[ploughboy]

<p>just like josh honeck with the highlanders earlier in the season. went to golden oldie scrums because he was not a loosehead but he has started last two games there</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>convenient that their versatility was exposed 4 weeks ago and they have worked hard with a player to ensure it doesn't happen again?</p>

[SammyC]

<p>Well I certainly wouldn't question Rennies integrity, I know it makes him "bloody angry"</p>

<p>Did Rennie ever say he hadn't played tighthead? He just said he wasn't good enough as a tighthead didn't he? I'm assuming the Highlanders were following the same storyline when they pulled the same trick on their home ground but weren't forced to drop a player out of the team. ;)</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Edit: Ploughboy beat me to it.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>well we get told that ITM Cup is so far from the quality of Super rugby that playing TH in that comp probably means little?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>At any rate, they obviously felt he wasn't up to it, which is why they have been working to make him better</p>

<p>So you're saying that because they knew Fisi'ihoi is a shit TH that they'd be better off going to golden oldies?</p>
