    @tim I assumed @SouthernMann meant Perofeta.

    Yip, that's the one I would like to see down here. Who ever ends up in that jersey in 2019 needs to be a strong runner and passer. A traditional first five wouldn't work trying to play running rugby, like how the Highlanders want to play.

    Not quite super rugby, but I couldn’t be bothered starting a new thread.

    Stuff

    George Smith in the gun. A friend of a friend (rugby player) was arrested a few years ago and (seriously) it led to the resignation of the coach. Pretty serious about their discipline over here so I’m watching this one with interest...

    Jeez that early 00s Brumbies team has it in for cabbies aye.

    I'm passionate about my highlanders and Sopoaga leaving is a BIG problem. Main reason is that at 26 he has some time left, bfa and Aaron will be gone after WC which leaves us vunerable, Lima would have helped being there.
    For me there are good you 10s out there. Josh Ioane Cld be the answer I think long term, Fletcher (having watched since schools) has reached his potential I think. For me I elf go after Blues 10s, either 1. Perofeta (a better Lima imo) or Plummer. I would imagine they'll keep one with Otere around and the other will leave.
    Also keep an eye of Tiaan Falcon and how he goes st super level, he looks good but is stuck behind Mackenzie.
    That's our options imo

    Heard a rumour that the highlanders have been speaking to Damien Mackenzie about signing for 2019. How long is he contracted to the chiefs for?

    @sammyc Apparently until the end of this season:

    The Super Rugby sensation turned down offers from other Kiwi franchises, understood to be the Blues and Crusaders, in favour of signing on in Hamilton for a further two years, till the end of the 2018 campaign.

    As a Magpies fan the Highlanders always tend to be the second supported team.

    Oh crap, are you suggesting that Cooper is going to go all Hammettuer on us?

    Apparently Lima put a picture up of him today saying he's on his way to Dunedin, with a laughing emoji on his Instagram feed. But that's probably just stirring the pot

    According to a post on his instagram account, Toomaga-Allen has torn his hamstring during training (today?). How long does it take to recover from a hammy?

    @stargazer piece of string! I'd say probably at least 4 weeks proper recovery.

    He'll be able to spend time planning his wedding dress though.

    I wonder if Izzy Folau will plan his stag do?
