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. -

@tim after watching the NPC final last night D’Angelo Leuila would be be a much better option
-
I reckon Leuila will probably end up training with the team during pre-season or during the season. Super teams tend to have a bunch of unsigned players train with them just in case of injury.
I don't think you'd want Will Havili getting much game time if McClutchie or Lealiifano get injured.
