    @kiwiwomble Just the interview about the extra players who had been invited to training. Abraham Pole was named, and Freedom, but there were postings asking why others were not mentioned for fans sake.

    'Their set-piece failed them': Ex-All Black's message for winless Highlanders

    'Their set-piece failed them': Ex-All Black's message for winless Highlanders

    A former All Black has pinpointed where the Highlanders need to improve to turn their winless start to the campaign around.

    Must be about time for you to call for the Highlanders to be moved to North Harbour...

    this isn't a stupid idea

    Auckland can handle the extra side.

    Then the Crusaders can move to Dunedin to play in the sort of stadium a team of that quality deserves

    And then CCC doesn't have to build a stadium in Christchurch and can put the funds to more municipal uses.

    wins all 'round

    Very good idea. Take some inspiration from the amazing brains in the Blues franchise.

    @smudge they could add an extra item of apparel to merchandising. Not just a Jersey but a Matatu 2 tutu too. Or maybe two of them...

    Summary:
    bad news: TU-J 's recovery is taking longer than anticipated and is still weeks away from a return.
    good news: Harmon is doing better and may make a return very soon, sooner than expected.

    Mixed injury news for Highlanders duo Thomas Umaga-Jensen and Billy Harmon

    The Highlanders have received mixed injury news regarding two of their injured players, Thomas Umaga-Jensen and Billy Harmon.

    Summary:
    bad news: TU-J 's recovery is taking longer than anticipated and is still weeks away from a return.
    good news: Harmon is doing better and may make a return very soon, sooner than expected.

    It's sad that I am not surprised that TUJ's recovery is taking longer than expected. I wonder if we will ever see the best of him and his brother.

    The Highlanders do well with ex Hamilton BHS players. Ollie Foote (fullback) and Heath MacEwan (openside) being the latest two.

    Is Taranaki wing Vereniki Tikoisolomone injured? I would have thought he would have gotten a chance by now especially considering Highlanders lacking a bit of spark in the backs at times this season.

    @kiwimurph browny came out earlier in the season and pretty much said he wasn't ready, kind of implied he was a project, maybe not even this year, which is a hell of a blow for someone with a full contract, thats whats WTG is for

    https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/rugby/super-rugby/127870797/highlanders-put-wingers-mosese-dawai-and-vereniki-tikoisolomone-on-hold-for-now

    while fellow winger Vereniki Tikoisolomone is seen as “project” player who will come into calculations as the season progresses.

    And what happened to Liam Coombes-Fabling? Another project winger been tossed early? Highlanders taking the piss tbh. Do they have another 5 WTG contracts for wingers looking for the next Waisake?

    MCL

    Did it in his last game, taped it up at half time but too much damage done. Don't think it's season ending
