            That looks like the strongest possible Highlanders team! 6-2 split on the bench again.

              BFA back is good.

              Also, they got Tomkinson out of 12 which is good - he was defensive liability there, despite a few good touches.

              Still, Saders by 15 I guess.

                Dear clan, never mind the score, just go out and give it all you got as a fitting sign off for the last 6 or so years when you became legitimate contenders. You've done us proud, we'll deal with next year later, just give it hell!

                Underdogs is good 🙂

                      @Siam Just get the media to call the Highlanders battlers and they will turn the heat up.

                          that is a pretty damn strong side, even more so when you look at the weapons on the bench.

                            @taniwharugby Must be the first time this season that they play their strongest squad and all their All Blacks are fit and healthy. Geez, 12 ABs in the starting line-up, 3 on the bench, not to mention possible future ABs and others who have been in the ABs environment.

                                Best side named all year, although would prefer Hunt over Dixon but only no big call, he's in good form.

                                All other teams have been fearing the day we drop Li!

                                    The same Dagg that retired? Or are we talking Fred?

                                    Neither of them really count, but get your point. Show off.

                                      Team could be slightly stronger, we are missing Dan, Richie, Andy and Leon

                                        They are just lucky that they aren't playing the mighty Jaguares.

                                              I mean the mighty Waikato Chiefs who "check notes" have a NEGATIVE points differential & won 7 games this season

                                              They're just going to roll into Buenos Aires and win 🤡 🌍

                                              They are on a massive 3 game winning streak 😱 😱

                                                      @taniwharugby Must be the first time this season that they play their strongest squad and all their All Blacks are fit and healthy. Geez, 12 ABs in the starting line-up, 3 on the bench, not to mention possible future ABs and others who have been in the ABs environment.

                                                      And completely missing an alternaitve back three of Jordan, Dagg and Mataele.

                                                      Team could be slightly stronger, we are missing Dan, Richie, Andy and Leon

                                                      Thought you were going to say Hayes, Atkins, Taylor, Simpson ...

                                                      Fergie, Hoppy and Grizz would also be welcome additions. Not to mention Caleb Ralph and Ben Blair as well.

                                                            Mounga would be better served looking to play the game in the Crusaders' half.
