would that be a NZ rceord for the most hyphenated last names?
That's Waratahs-esque
What is the protocol when two hyphenated people get married and want to hyphenate their last names?

@Dan54 when you have 12 Carry’s over a whole tri nations for 12 metres doesn’t exactly means he’s excelling at his job does it. (Reuben Thorne FYI)
I thought he was a better 6 than many gave him credit for, he was not a great player, but he was better trhan a lot of internet warriors gave him credit for.
But anyway that was then this is now. -
Good backline but I still cringe when I see Prinsep on the team sheet. Hopefully Howden gets plenty of minutes off the pine.

Surely they have a better option than Prinsep? Solid and probably good at NPC level but seems a little lightweight in Super Rugby in both his contribution and stature/impact. Howden looks promising albeit raw. Maybe they can try and lure Plumtree?

@TheMojoman
When you are a blindside, you are not fool enough to sign for the Canes as you may know that Holland will, week after week, give Prinsep the 6 jersey. -
@TheMojoman Plumtree would be great.
Flanders & Iose if not injured would be better options too.
I'd 100% have Howden there given who's fit at the moment.

@Canes4life Not your fault, but certainly your problem.

Almost.
The Highlanders used six against the Blues: Manaaki Selby-Rickit, Marino Mikaele-Tu'u, Thomas Umaga-Jensen, Liam Coombes-Fabling, Connor Garden-Bachop and Daniel Lienert-Brown.

I liked the look of Howden for Manawatu last year, and he seems like he still going alright next level up with admittedly only limited minutes so far.

I think if he gives it time PUJ & Sullivan midfield with Jordie at fullback is the best use of those 3 players.
Those 3 players definitely add the most value to the team in those positions... but when we have a knob of coach that doesn't settle on our best combos & continues to give a plodder at a lot of starts at 6 we're not going to perform at our best as a unit this year.

Anyone else disappointed in the progress of Flanders? Absolute star in age grade but has failed to progress as far as I was hoping. Sure it may be lack of opportunities, but it is almost a chicken and egg scenario. One thing I have noticed about Flanders is his propensity to go down with cramp during the late stages of a game. Maybe he has body issues holding him back?
