Reckon the Highlanders are going to knock over a few teams this year.

No Selby-Rickit or PPP. Possibly rewarding preseason form?

I keep the SRA injury list up-to-date on the Fern. There is a very vague time estimate for PPP's return: "not expected to be available until April".

This thread shows you how to find the injury list: https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/4463/tsf-navigation-menu-rugby-match-pages

Whats par for this one? Crusaders by 10?

Last year the Crusaders had two 20 point victories and a 10 point one over the Highlanders

[Kiwiwomble]

@duluth look, the think we CAN win...but yeah, it’s the crusaders so 10-15 loss wouldn’t be a surprise

[KiwiMurph]

Any word on crowd size?

[Kiwiwomble]

@kiwimurph they've been advertising the zoo is open again and its o'week so hoping for a big one

[Crucial]

@tim stricter interpretation? How does one interpret a very clear law to start with?
Very pleased to hear though. “Clearly onside” is what I have advocated for years

[Canes4life]

Come on Landers. Any Crusader loss is to be celebrated these days.

[Yeetyaah]

Will Jordan out, Fihaki to start with Mckay on the bench.

[Donsteppa]

Good to see that Joe Moody is still as dumb as ever.

Crap. I made him captain in my fantasy team.

[Canes4life]

@donsteppa Moody has always been a grub.

[Tim]

Forearm or elbow to head.

[KiwiMurph]

Well reffed by BOK.

[Yeetyaah]

Crusaders love a penalty. Keep at it and get carded pls.

I actually agree, but when someone goes off for mistakenly knocking over a guy in the air, versus this (which is a sustained attempt to hit someone in the head) I’m not sure I get the interpretation and whether there is any real attempt at ‘safety’

[Machpants]

Both sides need to calm down a bit, silly passes and discipline

[gt12]

That Lander’s front row is in trouble already
