    Apparently, George Bridge played very well for Crusaders Development XV, last weekend, and will be available for this game as well.

    Bit of a conundrum for Razor; who do you leave out if you bring him in? πŸ€”

    @stargazer probably safest to avoid the confrontation and rest them all

    It wouldn't surprise me at all if Razor comes with a few selection surprises, this week. Like starting Burke, or something like that. And maybe a rookie forward in the 23, for example Tamaiti Williams.

    I think McLeod is going to lose his spot in the 23 to Bridge.

    "Brown explained that the players had "broken the code" of the team and were dropped as a result.

    "There's six guys who are unavailable through letting the team down around their standards; broke the code that we live by and it's all around their professional habits," he said."

    damn it, ioane hasn;t been playing well enough to take the piss and people like MMT should be looking at stepping up

    damn it

    Seems to be a culture problem at the Highlanders
    Josh Ioane seems to be involved a lot in that stuff
    Good on Tony Brown for putting his foot on it.

    @chris yeah, its pretty disappointing, culture was one of the things the Highlanders have normally been proud of but it definitely looks like there are some trouble makers
