Jaysus - off the ball around the neck clothesline!
Yeah that's a good old fashioned clothesline eh. Feet in the air and all.

Nothing in that. Massive dive

Oh no
The Highlanders will have to get their season back on track without the services of All Blacks halfback Aaron Smith. Coach Aaron Mauger told Stuff on Wednesday that Smith will be out for "four to six weeks" after injuring his ankle in the final stages of the loss to the Blues' last Friday. After sustaining the injury Smith tried to run it off but it pulled up sore after the match and now faces a frustrating spell on the sidelines. The Highlanders have two other halfbacks on their books, Kayne Hammington and youngster Folau Fakatava, but Mauger said they are in the process of bringing in someone else to bolster the squad before three tough Kiwi derbies after their bye week. -
@Stargazer Step on up MR FAKATAVA
-
@Canes4life Yeah, but I'm afraid they're going to start Hammington, at least until Fakatava has a bit more SR game time under his belt.

@Stargazer you never know, they may just chance their arm.

Chiefs lock Michael Allardice has re-signed with the Chiefs for another year. Hopefully, that also means he's re-signed with the Magpies.

Queensland flanker Angus Scott-Young is free to face the Rebels on Saturday after escaping suspension for foul play.

haha WTF...
“The player’s explanation for the incident, including his attempt to protect his previously injured hand by closing his fist during the clean out, revealed absence of malicious intent,” he added.
reminds me of the fight Bart and Lisa had....its your own fault if you get hit

that is an astounding ruling.
Could you imagine the laughs when he gets back to training? Great story for the boys
"... and they fucking believed me!"

In a major coup for New Zealand Rugby (NZR), the All Blacks most capped number nine and second most capped Highlanders player, halfback Aaron Smith, has put pen to paper – and signed a new two-year deal with NZR and his Super Rugby side. 30-year-old Smith made his All Blacks debut in 2012 and has been a mainstay in the national side ever since, playing 82 Tests to date. He made his Highlanders debut in 2011 and has pulled on the southern team’s Super jersey 129 times. Smith said he was excited to confirm that his future would be in New Zealand. "From my earliest playing days, my focus has always been about being passionate about the teams I play for and I’ve always enjoyed giving 100 percent to the teams I represent,” Smith said. "I love representing the Highlanders and the All Blacks and playing my rugby in New Zealand gives me the chance to continue to do that.Smith joins a number of established All Blacks who have signed with New Zealand Rugby post 2019, including Dane Coles, Codie Taylor, Joe Moody, Ofa Tuungafasi, Scott Barrett, Sam Cane, Ardie Savea, TJ Perenara, Anton Lienert-Brown, Damian McKenzie and Rieko Ioane, with negotiations progressing with a number of other key players.
