Preseason: Highlanders v Moana Pasifika

@Stargazer yeah, bit of a coin toss on the best approach, still hasnt 100% proven himself at the next level so want him to get game time...but also dont want him getting injured, hopefully they take this preseason slow, just get him around the field...dont push himself just yet

arscott is also more than capable

Same for TUJ?
-
@Crucial for me, similar but not the same, fakatava has a good shot of going to the world cup and playing, not just making up the numbers, AB selectors have shown no interest in TUJ and so i want to see as get as much out of him as we can
Fakatava has also JUST come back from injury where as TUJ should be fully fit so theyre also at different stages

Not sure whether it's a lack of interest. I don't think you can pin non-selection on the selectors in his case. He's just injured way too often (with different types of injuries) and can't show consistency in his performance for that reason. Unfortunately, he's so injury prone, that he's a selection liability for overseas' tournaments and tours in particular.

@Stargazer just a phrase, i just mean for whatever reason i don't think he is in with a shot of the AB's this year

Imagine that. An Umaga-Jensen, fully fit.
What a world that would be.

Was looking forward to going to this but have ended up still in Welly.
The crew down there are going after watching the Chiefs Manawa games on TV. Should get some decent support being in town on a Friday evening. Can make a night out from it (if you can find parking).
Brilliant having the resource of a ground right in town. I would be great if a mini-stadium of sorts and parking could be done. -
