    Tolai was probably better than Eklund in the NPC last year, so good to see him given a chance at starting.

      @kiwiwomble that Bravehearts midfield looks good.

      agreed, i would like to see these two

      actually 12-15 is pretty good

      #11 is quite decent. He was a stud for Southland.

      Makene was quite good for Hawke's Bay too.

          @kiwiwomble It seems the Highlanders don't know what to do at fullback this season, so maybe he gets a shot there at some point.

              I like it when a B team gets rolled out against us...

                  @dice I’m just glad we haven’t resorted to Collins yet!

                    Good to see he looks more solid than he did in the NPC.

                    Coventry seems to rate him highly and he's being correct about most things. Hopefully he goes well

                      The other tweak involves Jonathan Ruru's promotion to replace Sam Nock at halfback. With Finlay Christie, the Blues best halfback, nearing a return from a calf injury, both nines are on notice.

                        @tim woulda thought all 9s are on notice, aside from Leon seemingly favouring Christie, I dont think any of them have claimed the 9 jersey yet.

                                  Yup, a no ref controversy game would be great.

                                    Can see the Highlanders game plan already.

                                    Move the big Blues around.

                                        Blues lucky. Don't look comfortable under the high ball.
