Highlanders v MP

[SouthernMann]

JRK back a month early from his injury.

Disappointed to see Hurley is out injured again. Poor bugger.

[Landers92]

We finally get 2 locks and Haig at 6 for decent line out options and we decide, you know what… let’s have Vikena start

[Duluth]

Moana Pasifika

Abraham Pole, Millennium Sanerivi, Chris Apoua, Allan Craig, Jimmy Tupou, Miracle Faiilagi (c), Semisi Paea, Semisi Tupou Ta'eiloa, Jonathan Tamateine, Patrick Pellegrini, Glen Vaihu, Tevita Latu, Solomon Alaimalo, Tuna Tuitama, William Havili

Replacements: Mamoru Harada, Malakai Hala-Ngatai, Paula Latu, Tom Savage, Ola Tauelangi, Augustine Palu, Lalomilo Lalomilo, Israel Leota

[Grooter]

@SouthernMann seems like Solomon will debut around the same time as his nz 20s teammates Pledger and Tengblad at this rate

[frugby]

Best team we’ve picked all season. Rewarding form. Nice to see.

What’s wrong with Hurley? Another leg/foot injury?

[handa457]

@jimmyb Hamstring. Poor bloke can't catch a break.

[jimmyb]

@handa457 it’s incredibly odd a young fit player is getting so many leg injuries. Have to assume it’s a strength and conditioning issue as it shouldn’t be happening

[jimmyb]

Is anyone else’s coverage look slightly sped up?

[SouthernMann]

Should smoke them in the scrum

[SouthernMann]

Annnnd scrum penalty to them

[jimmyb]

And there’s the fucking chip kicks

[Grooter]

Lennox is guilty of over playing his hand here
