Brumbies v Highlanders
-
Unavailable due to injury: Liam Squire, Shane Christie, Ash Dixon, Dan Pryor, Lima Sopoaga, Waisake Naholo, Adrian Smith, Josh Dickson, James Lentjes,
(Out for the season: Jason Emery, Hayden Parker)
-
@Stargazer heard on the radio that Pryor had been flown with Osborne and Wheeler, so assume he has been dropped form the injured team.
-
@taniwharugby Maybe, although this is from the Highlanders own media release. Maybe he's close to returning and only there in case someone injures himself during warm-up.
-
@Stargazer or injure themselves breathing...Highlanders medical team musta been putting in lots of overtime!

Well, they'll need someone in the midfield to catch the ball....

Oh no....deja vu all over again!
Mark Hammett not pushing panic button despite Highlanders' underwhelming start
They're mixing with perennial strugglers such as the Western Force and Cheetahs on the competition ladder, but Highlanders assistant coach Mark Hammett insists there is no need to hit the panic button.
One win from their opening four games has the Highlanders at the bottom of the New Zealand conference and already lagging well behind the Chiefs, Crusaders and Hurricanes.
But despite the less than desirable start to the season - the Highlanders have the same amount of competition points (five) as the Southern Kings - Hammett maintains all is well at Highlanders HQ.

Tony Brown did what Tana couldn't do last year...drop Tevita Li.
Hang on. Two weeks ago Tana was being chided for not keeping Li.
Great point.
Tana is obviously a coaching genius, just look at his results this year. -

After Li had a good game, Tana was an idiot to let him go.. now Li has been dropped the decision is one Tana should have taken a year ago. -

Did @Dice make the comment?
Or did two different people have two different criticisms of Umaga?
Don't know. I wasn't getting at Dice I was just pointing out two extremely different comments made recently
