@FakatavaFuture said in QF Blues v Highlanders:
Read that Leni Apisai, Frizell will be on the highlanders bench but there's no first five cover so if Banks curls over idk what happens
Bryce Heem is on the wing for the 13 in a row Bluesis koroi injured? i thought he looked like he was settling in after the missed conversion
@Kiwiwomble Koroi's been fit all season & presumably still is? Tony's backline selections have been a rabble this season, Dawai is in & out the team like a yoyo, initial contracted squad members aftermentioned Koroi & punivai ect been watching on as Van guht & coombes fabling came in, I just hope the next coach can make things feel more settled

@FakatavaFuture yeah, dawai had a very rough start but thought he looked much better the couple of times hes played since
I'm a huge Browny fan...but think he's proving he's an assistant/attack/backs coach and not a right for the big job

anyone heard anything about Timu? thought his pariing with TUJ was building nicely
-
Any news on Segner's injury? I did read he had a suspected fractured ankle, so will be out for a while, if true.
-
Badly rolled ankle. Could be back in 5 or 6 weeks.Hope he gets back for some provincial games.

@Duluth the sauce reckons Papalii is out. That might even things up a wee bit ?
this late in the super season i hope its nothing too serious
-
@Nogusta so Choat to 7, who comes to bench with Segner out?
Huge blow to the Blues, just hope it aint serious and makes him miss any more if the Blues make next week

@taniwharugby Plumtree who played at 7 and 8 in the preseason?
-
Hopefully he's been pulled as a precautionary measure, out of all Blues players he probably deserves to be relishing this playoff run the most. Hope he's back next week.

@Canes4life you'd hope so, would be a waste if he got injured properly against a Highlanders coming out with nothing to lose, not saying we'll be trying to hurt anyone but hopefully we come out firing just trying to get our noses in front and tails up
