Rebels vs Highlanders

@FakatavaFuture im assuming he just needs a rest, i think he's played most games, may have also clicked he's a midfielder or not at all and TUJ/Timu works better

@FakatavaFuture
The outlook is better for Scott Gregory, who misses the Rebels game due to the flu but should be available next week.

I think a better combo than Marty Banks!
“It’s a pretty good idea having old Aaron Smith and Folau Fakatava as a 9 and 10 combo,” Hall said of the idea, which was initially floated by host Ross Karl.
“We’ve seen it [TJ Perenara has played 10 for the Hurricanes and All Blacks] and I think nobody would have thought Gilbert was going to be able to play 10, with Hunty [Mitch Hunt] being there.
“Would not be surprised if Tony Brown chucked out something, the two 9s playing 9 and 10.”
The left-field halves combo the Highlanders could use against Rebels
A Super Rugby Pacific star has put forward an outlandish solution to the Highlanders as they face a shortage of first-five options this week.
They read the fern! I suggested this before Gilbert got selected there.

Tony Brown must be thinking there is no need for a first five anymore. Aye @Bones 😀

@SouthernMann for a guy that has played NZ7s, he seems to have zero ability to beat a man, last year at least he had good leg drive and got the gain line while buying time for his support too, this year, bar maybe 1 or 2 games, he has offered buggar all going forward, and even his straight on defence has been suspect, again, somerhing that was a strength.

I clearly don't watch enough Southland matches.

Smith shoulda been pinged...but Rebs score anyway.

@nzzp should go back to Smith playing ball while off his feet, but no...
