Does anyone know how long ENS is out for?
He was favouring his hamstring, and those can take a while to come right.
I reckon only Tupaea, and maybe Lowe, would be in the strongest backline. That shows you how many injuries there are.

@Chris nice to see finau get a shot off the bench, I'm sure fellow cantab poihipi has got him up to speed in the environment
Finau played pretty well against MP off the bench for the Crusaders last time he got a chance.Good luck to him I hope he goes well.

Ehh man so many injuries, sad to see as the squad depth looked good preseason. Never seen much of Inga Finau.
Seems to have been a consistent trend since we began the interborder stuff, physical toll of consecutive derbies.
The Highlanders & Chiefs unavailability list has been pretty unreal in these last three seasons (2020, 2021, 2022)
