Showing once again, how stupid all speculations in the media are.
I think the Highlanders were putting out a positive rumour at the same time news was breaking about even more players leaving.

Will Jordan rebuffed offers from other New Zealand franchises to stick with his hometown Crusaders for at least three more years.
Makalio, now in his third season with the Crusaders, confirmed he turned down another offer to stick with the red and blacks, citing the team's culture for his decision to stay put.At Least the Highlanders and Blues are actively trying to recruit.

@Chris Highlanders could be NZ wooden spooners next year, though the Blues still might find a way of taking out that accolade.

I don't see the Blues taking the Wooden spoon this year. They should beat the reds this weekend to go above the chiefs who have the bye. Then both teams will lose in the final round games

@Canes4life Yeah I think the Highlanders may have a tough year if you are looking at replacing
B Smith,W Naholo,T Li,M Faddes,R Buckman,M Banks,E Dixon,J Hemapo,L Whiitelock,L Squire,T Franklin,T Lomax, I don't see enough quality on the Transfer market to cover that amount of experience. -

Chiefs and Highlanders have a sniff now of playoffs. Winners of Bulls v Lions and Stormers v Sharks will probably take 5th and 6th spot last 2 right open.
36 points will probably get you at least 8th even 35 points may now.
Rebels v Chiefs a knockout match.
Bulls or Lions could make it to 7th with a losing bonus point. -
@Canes4life Any word on BB and the injury that got him pulled from the game last night ?
