After six years of service and 56 games Highlander #295 Sam Gilbert will be departing our shores to play for Connacht in Ireland at the end of this year’s NPC.
Sam made his debut for the club in 2020 and has been our go to man many times over the last six seasons having played every position in the backline apart from halfback.
We wish him all the very best in the next chapter of his rugby story.
The size of europe compared to the size of New Zealand
You can't really compare the two
He rook that really bad hit in the back of the neck/ head from Shalfoon just before half time.
More amazing/ concerning thing is, the fact he came back on for a small patch after half time, after passing his H.I.A
Gutted for the lad. Hope he recovers well and we get to see him back in a landers and taranaki jersey in the future.

The biggest concern is why he was given a crack after doing only
5 NPC games
3 heartland games
2 aupiki games
