@SouthernMann Depends. Broughton himself is actually a good lineout option, and is a good ball player.
Stodart will either play 8 or lock I think. From what I have seen he isn’t really an athletic ball player in the mould of the Haig, Broughton and Howden.
Surely that means 6 or lock?

Jonah Lowe isn’t playing this game due to injury. Assuming he is still rehabbing last years injury? Pretty easy to forget he’s still in the squad these days.
Our what fifth or sixth choice winger now? And fourth of fifth choice centre? Getting a good paycheque to hold tackle bags

I guess so. Nine months from when he did the original injury would be about now, so he probably isn't far off.

@SouthernMann I reckon the chance of Fifita making it would have to be pretty minimal. Two years out the game probably kills any chance he has of making it in SR.

Any livestreams for the game??

have we still got another year with him, feels like he signed a 3 year deal about a decade ago

I disagree. He is the most promising outside back to come out of the south in a long long time. @ploughboy seemed to have some good oil and said he is signed to the Highlanders acadamey. That he turned down other teams to do so. Ideally he wouldn't be on a mission. But we will have to be patient with him.
-
@SouthernMann We'll see. As far as we know he hasn't been playing rugby, which effectively puts him at a minimum, two years behind his peers in terms of physical development.
In his favour is that wing is probably the position which requires the least amount of skill. Still, it would be quite the story if he makes it from here.

Any update?
-
theyre not even tweeting updates
i did see 8-9 stories showing the warm up, coming off the bus...and then nothing until the end of the first period -
Yeah I just saw the stories. Says down 14-21 after 2nd third
-
@Kiwiwomble they can post highlight videos of the tries, but no regular score updates etc. Go figure
-
If anyone wants match/score updates just download the Tribe app. It's 21-14 to Moana after the second period of play. Now into the second half.

This post is deleted!

The Tribe app is still saying it's Highlanders 14 - Moana - 21. Maybe they are struggling to get updates.
