    @tim Todays announcement Moli and Havilli cover the Hooker and outside back. Presuming they carry 38 as per the NZ teams. The rumors suggest Manu Paea is 3rd half back and Chris Apoua the final Prop.

      The jury is still out on whether Havili is a NPC quality player, much less SR quality.

        @bovidae Yep. Seeing some of the names, I really think they're scraping the barrel in some positions.

          @stargazer I'd see it more taking a punt on potential than scraping the bottom of the barrell...but yeah, expect there will be a number found wanting.

              im also well aware that the Highlanders often carry several players who some would argue are NPC level at best, it will be really interesting to see how their first string players will gel

                @kiwiwomble i am really hopeful they are competitive, i believe their first game is at home against the Brumbies at Mt Smart.
                More than anything else i hope it inspires a group of young polynesian kids that they can earn a living and more important play for their country of orgin.
