Highlanders v Moana Pasifika

[Dice]

Quite a few guys back for MP, but missing Stowers, McRobbie, Fomai and Visinia. You'd think they'll be playing the Tuesday game.

Looking forward to the Funaki vs Frizell match-up. Funaki's been one of my favorite players to watch this season.

@bovidae I know brown is usually keen on "experience" but I'm glad Ma'u and Koroi are in the 23 over Honeck and Banks respectively , not very familiar with max hicks hope he goes alright!

[ARHS]

@bovidae Do you know if Thwaites, Caird, Hammington or Tikoisolomone were available? Seems odd none of them in the 23.

[Bovidae]

@arhs No idea. What I posted was copied from the Stuff article. The official media release doesn't mention any other players that are unavailable either.

why is it odd? i dont think any have even played this year, hammington clearing the third choice 9 and he would be the closest to playing

@arhs Apparently Caird caught Covid and was taking a bit to recover.

I believe the Highlanders had called Liam Hallam-Eames in to cover him, but he caught covid pretty soon after arriving in camp.

@kiwiwomble exactly. None have been used and with no public comments on unavailability. Seemed like a good time to give the odd player a run and rest others. Only Hicks used here.

hardly odd though, still without a win so theyre going to stick the best team out there, not several debutants

God, commentators already have Frizell’s cock in their mouths.

[gt12]

And now he’s down.

Ouch.

[Mattasaurus]

@gt12 yup night over...

For all his faults he's been one our best...

Some of these younger generation props are giving me hope.
