Blues v Highlanders

We'll see. People said the same thing about the Crusaders last week... never underestimate confidence, momentum and belief.
Blues resting a shit ton of players will only increase the belief I think.
Blues probably still get it done, but I'd expect it to be close.
@frugby did they? i think the closest i saw was things like "crusaders will finally wake up"

Not so sure
New 8-9-10 combo for Blues
Breaking up Blues midfield combo
Sotutu, Telea etc not playing.
Think this one could get tight

From the ODT
Dermody said Harmon was well off being considered for selection this week. The nasty cut on his palm he sustained in Tonga had since got infected, and the star loose forward needed time to come right. Centre Tanielu Tele’a is named despite failing an HIA test against the Crusaders. Tele’a got a ‘‘whack to the face’’ and his smart mouthguard sent an alert for him to be checked at halftime, Dermody said. He failed the initial HIA protocol — involving a memory test — so had to be replaced. But he passed the second stage of the protocol two days later, and again 24 hours after that, so can play this week -
Stephen Perofeta, Bryce Heem and Marcel Renata all late withdrawals for the blues.

That $7.50 looking tasty for the Highlanders

Good start from the Blues pack.

Ooh well worked Landers.

That was so sweet to watch.

Well worked, but pass possibly looked forward...

Eye patches affect depth perception perhaps?

TJ's player identification is getting even worse, now mistaking Fakatava for a lock
