@Kiwiwomble said in Highlanders v Blues: @Tim jesus that backline! According to AB threads that backline contains a useless halfback, a scattergun 10, a wannabe 12, a 13 that makes poor decisions, a stopgap wing, a wing with terrible defence that trips over his own feet and a fullback that isn’t good enough to get a game. 
 Just saying.

 Just saying.I see that and raise you an; injury prone halfback with an experimental knee revovery, a midget a 10 whp has barely played in the last year, our main threat on the wing, can he see out a game at 12 or will we see another month on the sidelines? a tough battler at centre, Jonah MK11, and a Canterbury reject at fullback. Your batch sounds a lot better than ours
