Also is Funaki injured?
I would like to see him get a run off the bench ahead of Nock
God, Nock has been so fucking terrible. We need Christie to be on for 70mins at least. Nock's kicking has gone massively backwards (hah that's like a pun).
Tele'a would be a good option for 12 IMO.

Tele'a's distribution has always been a big work-on so it depends what type of game they want to play.
They have been using the 12 to set up the next play so far, he'd be great at that.

It'd also be useful to have someone of his size to stop TUJ on the crashball. Particularly if Barrett is shying away from contact.

Let's not let one Cantab fan invent a fact. 40mins of rugby after a significant period away, and he brought calmness to the team and good kicking. Didn't see him Merhtsing out of tackles.

I definitely thought he looked a bit hesitant. Admittedly that was on attack, and I'm extrapolating out to contact in general.

Gutted for RTS. Thus far he's been very good given the early stage of his development.
I think Tele'a is next cab off the rank and he's played 12 with Reiko Ioane before. He's pretty serviceable at 12, strong in the carry and defends well. Not sure about his kicking game.

I know he made that bad decision to come off the wing and created an overlap. Was there anything else?
It's certainly a bad mark against his ability to cover midfield and wing from the bench. Not sure how much it affects his chances at 12 though

The ODT putting the boot in:
You can go a long way with relentless optimism. Now the Highlanders just need to add some ball-handling, accuracy and try-scoring.
Highlanders know areas they need to improve - Evans

No new injuries for the Highlanders from last weeks game
