Preseason - Highlanders v Hurricanes
-
some good defence by the landers
-
Flanders has f all impact to him for his size aye. He runs hard but literally makes no impact on contact. Obviously lacks power.
Brayden Iose looks much better at 8 for me.
-
Canes have far too many under 20s players out there. So young and dumb.
I don’t get the point in having such a big squad. Players in there that are clearly not going to ply for the Canes this year so why even bother.

To see who's ready to cover for inevitable injuries, when else do they get a chance to look at them?

Well played Landers, completely dominated the Canes today. I expect the Canes to look very different next week though and I hope we utilise a smaller squad. Having guys coming on every two seconds ruins any momentum.

Good smart play from a very young Highlanders team. The vast majority would only be only in their early 20s.

Good structure, certainly hit the rucks in a more organised way. First 30 the Canes were off their feet an awful lot.

UJ is one of the dumbest, and he's not got the excuse of youth

@Machpants he’s been dumb for a few years now. Never reached his potential that’s for sure and I hope he doesn’t get in the way of Higgins.

lol is that Keruru-Symes getting bumped? He wasn’t even in the wider training squad initially.
-
That result, albeit a pre-season game will help sell tickets

@SouthernMann Landers played well. They look better than lst year. Good to see.

So far Filipo will be disappointed. He's been poor
But Kirifi, Iose have been VG, Judd looks a VG third option (after the dreadful Booth last year) and Higgins looks the goods. Cameron has been only so-so.
Now keen to see what Viljoen can do.
-
@Winger I really hope Godfrey gets time at 10 this year. He looks very Beauden-esque in the way he plays. So much better than midget Morgan, and the underwhelming Cameron.
@Canes4life I a bit keen on his play too. Looks to have something soesn't he?
