'Potentially his year's done': Major injury blow for All Blacks flanker
The Highlanders finally have their first win of the season under their belts but it's come at a hefty cost.
The one positive on the injury front is that regular starters Thomas Umaga-Jensen and Billy Harmon are both nearing a return and could feature against the Hurricanes next Saturday. -

@FakatavaFuture Brown and co will need to fit them into the squad size allowed for the tour. 27 seems to be the number.
Depending on how many games you have, the Crusaders have 4 games and I hear maybe 31 going on tour.

That makes sense. Taking a 3rd hooker and halfback, along with a 5th prop doesn't leave much room for extras. 27 seems a bit light too.

@FakatavaFuture we were talking about that at training last night, i think a few in those shots have injuries but why travel if they're not even a slight possibility, might be in the "can play if we have enough injuries" camp

Sio is off to Wales. Open a space up for us to get the under utilised twin from the Hurricanes and have an Umaga-Jensen midfield https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.rugbypass.com/news/huge-attacking-threat-highlanders-sio-tomkinson-signs-for-dragons/

I would be offering him the 13 jersey for a season. With TUJ at 12, if they could get a first five with a bit of talent (McCluskie?) to finish games, the team could look significantly more dangerous very quickly.

Huge attacking threat and Sio in the same sentence is certainly something.....

@KiwiMurph i assumed them meant "attacking" like someone mugging you in the street

@KiwiMurph 😅Aaron fed him some easy meat pies over the years I guess..

@FakatavaFuture i know right! never understood those that just pointed at his try scoring record and ignored how many were crash ball from about 5m out just because smith could pick him out, almost never broke the line further up field, always looked better on the wing for me because he cold just tuck the ball under his arm and hit it up

Spoke to someone before who reckons PUJ is leaning towards heading south. Seems he is a bit annoyed with the lack of gametime

As he fucking should be, assuming he is a doing the work to be prepared and get selected.
If he's not prepared to make the move now, an AB jersey is not going to happen.
