Fakatava really should be an ABs apprentice in July if he isn't eligible.
Ratima deserves to be in the wider squad as well.
-
@kiwi_expat After the next RWC, maybe.
-
Questions need to be asked about the coaching at the Reds. I know they're missing some stars, but this is poor.
-

@Stargazer I reckon he's fitter this year MMT. Defensive workrate has stepped up.
-
Great to get the win.
Some solid work from the boys up front. And the bench really upped the pace.
-
Well done Landers, what a way to guts it out. Man that Fakatava was something else coming on at the end there.
-
@KiwiMurph Yep, he's looking very strong, and not losing too much speed.
He was very good in the line-out and according to the stats from SANZAAR, he also made most metres of all Highlanders players.
Hopefully, last year was his 2nd year dip and will only improve from now. It looks like he's getting better and better.
He's pushing for an ABs spot and although I don't expect him to make it (this year), it's good to have him as a back-up in case injuries strike. I reckon he's close (closer than Grace, for example).
-
Reckon you could divide the season into pre-Billy and post-Billy Harmon based on that game. Nothing wrong with the tight five either. Timing the run to the final just perfectly.
