North Harbour v Otago

[Kiwiwomble]

is it wishful thinking or has withy bulked up a bit? i liked him during super but he seems even bigger now

[Stargazer]

Otago scored a try more than Harbour. They need someone with a better kicking boot.

[SouthernMann]

Well that was disappointing

[Duluth]

Score was 17-7 to Otago when Harbour made the change at prop. Harbour won the rest of the game 20-7

I doubt we’ll see Mayhew at TH again

dazzling insite there hurley wold be at least our third choice if everyone was fit

[SouthernMann]

From memory Faleafaga used to kick for the Highlanders U20s. Not sure why he isn't given the job. May be they just want him to focus on being a 10.

[Bovidae]

As others have said Hurley's goal kicking was the difference.

If he has a dominant SR season in 2024 Holland can't be too far away from international honours.

Read somewhere that he will only qualify for ABs selection at the end of 2025.

@akan004 I think that's correct. The residency period of 5 years starts running from the age of 18 years, unless a player was already financially independent from his parents/caregivers before that age or the parents have moved here as well before the player turns 18. These exceptions don't apply in case of Fabian Holland. He turned 18 in 2020.
