    Some info about the Highlanders high performance program in this article. News to me that the Chiefs were interested in Fabian Holland.

    No 9s Nathan Hastie and Noah Hotham are in, as are No 10s Cam Millar, Ajay Faleafaga and Finn Hurley, while hooker Jack Taylor, No 8 Will Stodart and tall winger Jeremiah Asi round out a group that is expected to start pushing for full Highlanders contracts by 2024.

      @Bovidae since Hastie and Hotham are seen as future squad members , I would hope another kiwi team has a look at James Arscott, still only 21 and has a real good pass on him

        That's why I was surprised. The Chiefs have 4 locks who are 23 yrs old or younger.

          Agreed, he’s had smith as his mentor for years too, you can see it in his pass technique

                @Kiwiwomble Don't know for how long Mark Ozich is signed at the Force, but he could be an excellent fit. Has proven himself at NPC level and has coached the Highlanders U20s in 2021, so knows the emerging talent. Apart from the Magpies head coach, he's also a former Southland Assistant Coach.

                    this just popped up in my feed...shit that was a loose game, one of fletcher smiths first i think and opened them up from our own 5m...awesome...got i would love to have that attacking power and in hindsight that many players that seemed to largely avoid injuries

                          With Browny leaving they'll be needing another backs coach, so we will probably see Dermody appointed (based on his success in 2021) as head coach & them bringing back (former U20 coach) Ozich to be their attack coach. Can't really see anything else happening.

                                    Does CGB play 10? Something in my memory suggests he does but maybe I am imagining that. If he does have some history at 10 I wouldn't mind seeing him get a run there given NZ's lack of quality depth in that position.
