Havili at 10 just screams of desperation for an answer. Should just stick with Reihana.
On the other hand, it looks like a case of just getting your best players on the field all at once.
Fihaki must feel pretty hard done by with having been dropped for McNicholl last week and now for Halfpenny who hasn’t played any footy at all since his injury, interesting decision.
Definitely that, and a call from the AB coach.
To be honest, as I thought in 2020, his best chance to maintain an AB jumper is to be Mr fixit - if he can cover 10, 12, FB he's a very handy squaddie.
Wait, being decidedly average in 3 positions is an advantage now?
Apparently, yes.

Wouldnt halfpenny be on kicking duty, pretty good % at international level.?

Blackadder withdrawn from the game today.

Just been confirmed by the Crusaders that Blackadder’s been pulled because there’s a good chance he’ll get injured and therefore as precautionary they’ve ruled him out before he does.

Ease up on the guy.
He's played one full game this season.
His starting position at 6,7, or 8 in the AB is assured. -

😂😂 that’s not bad. He’s genuinely made of glass.
Don’t like to see anyone injured but jeez this guy can’t catch a break. Hoping for his sake it isn’t too bad.
