@bobily2 just saw on insta someone say it’s Rohan wingman? Some young bloke just training with them?
He's an 19 year old prop - should make the u20 team this year. He looked pretty good last year for the Highlanders U20s.
Rohan Wingham. I was sitting next to his parents watching the NZ Schools trial game in 2020. His scrum went backwards that day.
Yep but did it go backwards because of him, or the whole pack, which is often the case.

Wingham made the NZ Schools squad so obviously has talent. I remember him being mobile around the field. The other team had the two best schoolboy props IMO.
Here were the packs:
HADEN XV
1 Rohan Wingham (Kings High School)
2 Aminiasi Toga (St Andrew's College)
3 Harris McRobbie (Rangiora High School)
4 Alan Craig (St Kentigern College)
5 Fabian Holland (Christchurch Boys' High School)
6 Ollie Haig (Otago Boys' High School)
7 Will Bason (St Kentigern College)
8 Te Rama Reuben (St Kentigern College)WHETTON XV
1 Mason Tupaea (Hamilton Boys' High School)
2 James Mullan (Rangiora High School)
3 Havila Molia (St Paul's Collegiate)
4 Jadin Kingi (Sacred Heart)
5 Jamie Hannah (Christchurch Boys' High School)
6 Torian Barnes (St Andrew's College)
7 Fletcher Anderson (Christ's College)
8 Wallace Sititi (De La Salle College)The Haden XV actually had more bulk at lock.

Just heard Tony Brown say on the radio that Fakatava is good to go. Will play the 1st half this week.
Has his NZ eligibility been sorted yet?

@tim ok, this is getting really weird now, he played during the NPC didn't he? is there something in Dunedin thats actually causing issues
“We're not quite sure where [Solomon] is at,” Brown said on Thursday. “It’s just going to take a bit of time.I dont think they can possible NOT know where he is at so really sounds like its too personal for them to talk about

Flynn Thomas over Ricky Jackson…

@bones if he is in a bad spot he probably doent see that is nothing in article,
thats fair enough, i did agree with @bones though, seemed he was just reporting on things the Brown had actually said, not wild speculation or anything
-
Solomon's reaction is a joke. Normalising mental health as a conversation is where we've moved to, and that's literally what Cully has done - complete with quotes from the coach, FFS.
-
im really starting to think rugby might not be doing him any good and he might want to properly step aside and just work on himself

He might be outraged without even reading the article.
He should join the fern, that’s how we do things around here.

Naholo, Vahaakolo still on radar as Highlanders search for wingers
They may be about to suit up against their old side, but Waisake Naholo and Freedom Vahaakolo could still return to the Highlanders this year.
could be a master stroke from Browny, get the all conquering crusaders to get them up to speed and then bring them back
I assume this could be to do with Alaimalo, if he actually steps away we'll need another outside back
