@KiwiMurph I know you'd love to read more into it, but he's being rested, just like Bryn Hall.

rested after 2 weeks....right.....

the first half of this list makes it look like a good matchup....its the big numbers where things get...uneven

@Stargazer said in Highlanders v Crusaders:
I don't understand why they have named both Gatland and Koroi on the bench. Don't they - more or less - play in the same positions (10/15)?
Koroi is a wing/fullback and looking at the team Punivai and Collins would be midfield cover.

Agreed. Havili doesn't have a reputation for communicating. So the Highlanders backline will be responsive and fluid to opportunities where the Crusaders will have tunnel vision.

@KiwiMurph Good. Faina'anuku is a far better prospect anyway.
