Anyway, 6-2 bench might bring us undone. We will see

you'll be right...6-2 bench has never gone wrong for us

Glen Innes product Alex Newsome is gearing up for the Waratahs match against the Highlanders this we

Clearly, a B.Communication (Journalism) from the Uni of Newcastle isn't worth much...

It has become a word.

Not that I'm not grumpy about it.

Belongs on the GOM thread.

@booboo To me readling that it is like a threat, Tahs are going to verse (teach/smack) the landers haha, I thought 'cocky shits'

Also I believe the game is on Sunday not Saturday.

[Grooter]

@KiwiMurph Sunday will be a great day🙂 can envision it now Cam Millar slotting goals in Taupo then Sam Gilbert slotting goals in the last home game of the campaign

[Kiwiwomble]

more or less the same as last week but with at least some firepower on one wing

[Bovidae]

Johnstone must be injured if Inch is debuting.

[Tim]

@Bovidae said in Highlanders v Waratahs:

Johnstone must be injured

Has he played any games this year?

[Derpus]

@Buff that's probably the weakest team we've put out all year. Rip.

He was on the bench for the MP game in early April. I don't think Thwaites has played at all this season.

shit i cant express how much i really want gilbert to have a good game

Likewise. We just can't go back to Hunt.

[Kiwiwomble]

@SouthernMann and not even to write hunt off completely, but let him take some pressure off and get his shit together, go back to impact sub or 15 where i always prefered him

Just wait til Hanigan comes tearing off the bench, ELECTRIC POWER!

[Derpus]

@Machpants eh he isn't a world beater but he gets unfairly dumped on IMO.

Our locks are also pretty unimpressive outside Holloway so it's not like he's got much competition.

[Grooter]

@Kiwiwomble 6 fellas who have played for Ta$man on the bench, Mako fans see this & can't help but have the Landers as their #1 Team in Super🙂

[Kiwiwomble]

@FakatavaFuture its weird, i obviously have players i like, but i never "follow" them, i always support otago and the highlander regardless of who is playing for them

[Damo]

Inconsequential game for the Highlanders. Our future is a plucky knockout loss to the Blues at Eden Park.

Tahs really want to win to get out of finishing 7th and a loss to the Crusaders in Christchurch.
