Someone must have worked wonders to get Selby-Rickit a visa to get into South Africa given his criminal record. Could be that standards imposed by South Africa are somewhat lesser than those elsewhere.

I assume the conviction of causing injury with reckless disregard is low enough to allow him to travel. @Godder may know more about the standard?
I'm more surprised he didn't get discharged without conviction like other rugby bad boys.

@Nepia some online checking says only getting a fine would normally not be ineligible for a SA visa.
Every week the highlanders disappointed me by not giving young folau fakatava a shot

Not just the Highlanders, even the Canes brought on JONATHAN TAUMATEINE instead of The One and Only Folau* Disgustingly disappointing
*that's not been banished to League

Have you got the "Students" starting lineup? They have quite a number of players with Super Contracts but not many of them appear in the Super match day 23s.

The Highlanders have Brown and Dermody locked in beyond 2020, with Mauger and Mark Hammett coming off contract this year.Surely at least one of Mauger & Hammett won't get a new contract?
How much of an interruption is Brown's Japan job? Maybe he could be head coach in SR and still assist Japan?

Hammet’s CV must make horror reading. I am genuinely surprised that he continues to be employed in a coaching capacity.
Mind you, John Mitchell’s CV is pretty awful as well but he landed a well paid gig.@Crucial said in Highlanders 2020:

At least I've got Conrad in the same boat to talk to!

So you and his chosen captain, a captain I might add that didn't win Super rugby and only went close to winning when a new coach was brought in.

@Nepia As it turned out Conrad was pretty much right. He said Hammer had set great foundations in place - and the next year they should have won the title, and the following year they did.
And Hammer keeps getting jobs!
What is especially interesting with your timing of today's sally is that I've just come home from Nelson and standing on a street corner with a travel bag slung over his shoulder was either John Mitchell or his doppelganger. I'm thinking Mitch should still be in England - but, otherwise, what's he doing in Nelson??!! :astonished_face:
