@yeetyaah Denny Solomona has been on the lookout for a Kiwi super rugby spot.

From Solos Instagram

I don't get it - just had a quick browse of the article and isn't Cully just reporting the truth? Doesn't seem anything offensive in the article.

[Yeetyaah]

@bones idk I'm not too sure there's probably still some bad blood there.

@bones if he is in a bad spot he probably doent see that is nothing in article,

thats fair enough, i did agree with @bones though, seemed he was just reporting on things the Brown had actually said, not wild speculation or anything

[Smudge]

Solomon's reaction is a joke. Normalising mental health as a conversation is where we've moved to, and that's literally what Cully has done - complete with quotes from the coach, FFS.

[Kiwiwomble]

im really starting to think rugby might not be doing him any good and he might want to properly step aside and just work on himself

He might be outraged without even reading the article.

He should join the fern, that’s how we do things around here.

I don't think we should be giving spots to an Englishman.

[NateHill74]

@nepia What throwing back to James Haskell, Ben Te'o, Joe Marchant, Piers Francis etc.
None of them really showed their ability down here in New Zealand

Naholo, Vahaakolo still on radar as Highlanders search for wingers

They may be about to suit up against their old side, but Waisake Naholo and Freedom Vahaakolo could still return to the Highlanders this year.

could be a master stroke from Browny, get the all conquering crusaders to get them up to speed and then bring them back

I assume this could be to do with Alaimalo, if he actually steps away we'll need another outside back

Man - he has some terrible luck. I was really looking forward to watching how he went this year.

On the small plus side - he should be just about back to fitness in time to kick off the Mako campaign!

[macmanus]

Naholo, Vahaakolo, Abraham Pole and Ricky Jackson with Crusaders…

[Kiwiwomble]

Bugs the hell out of me if I’m honest, others seems to get a free ride where as these guys are at least solid and we ignore them, glad for them someone is showing interest

[Bovidae]

Some injuries:

Christian Lio-Willie - broken hand (replaced in squad by Fabian Holland)
Rory van Vugt - broken wrist vs Chiefs

Some attitude issues with Freedom, by all accounts.

[Kiwiwomble]

@smudge may be true but you have to wonder what is says if we can’t handle those issue but the crusaders think they can or at least he’s good enough to try
