    Tucker looks better than Romano already. As hard as Romano tries, he's miles kilos past his best.

      So there will be some changes in the backs this week with RTS & Plummer probably injured

      Who should start at 12 and who should be the cover is the big question?

      Also, I thought Mark Telea struggled on defence in the weekend. It's probably time to look at some one else. Lam? JRK?

      I assume the pack will remain relatively unchanged

      The backs might be something like this?

      9 Christie
      10 Barrett
      11 Clarke
      12 Tele'a
      13 Ioane
      14 Lam
      15 Perofeta

      Nock, Tua, Sullivan

      so the recipe Blues, you DFs, is to work the ball through the forwards setting the platform for the backs. Same with the ABs. Funny how that works.

        This is a very average Highlanders backline atm. Gregory, Elder Banks and Dawai. Sheesh.

          Has Aaron Smith ever thought about joining a choir? Shit he hits the high notes.

          It's easily heard in a full stadium, when there is no one there, his screech is deafening

              Has he been injured? I’m surprised that they haven't used Romano off the bench, if at all.
