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?
-
@Crazy-Horse I'm convinced he's a starter in that Canes squad and only by playing can he get the experience necessary to improve. While the current coaching staff are employed, he'll have his progression and development hampered.
