Some of these Highlanders must be the last available professional rugby players left in New Zealand.

Yeah, they knock it on, then they compound it by conceding the penalty, then they don't defend a break.

@Stargazer thats about the 3rd or 4th occasion the landers have butchered opportunites in the red zone

Renton is player who leaves everything out on the field

@Steven-Harris yep. Tough after his family situation a few years ago. He's 100% effort every game

Hunt is mud. Such a dreadfully limited player.

He tries to play like DMac without the ability.

Great impact from Fakatava. Maybe brought on a bit too late? He's definitely returning to form.
@Stargazer I'm not convinced, he is way too loose and takes too many low percentage options.... work in progress and hope he keeps getting better

20 minutes in games where the result is long gone is not doing him any favours.

@KiwiMurph definetly not his best year ,but i would’nt say hes limited

Simon Hickey is what i would call limited -

@Dan54 definetly the No1 in NZ by a distance at the minute

Highlanders at least came close vs NZ Teams last year. Maybe need some coaching changes except quarter final vs auckland and one crusaders loss it wasn't that bad
@Winger looking back at the Landers team list from last years QF v the Blues suprisingly there was’nt too much difference in personal
One real positive has been the scrum which i recall dealt to the Blues scrum in that particular game
