    Keeping the powder dry?

    Highlanders presumably using a likely L to rest ABs De Groot and Frizell rather than rest them in a more winnable week?

    Highlanders named for Super Round clash against Crusaders | Highlanders Rugby Club Limited Partnership

    Head Coach Clarke Dermody has made several changes to his starting team for the round 2 Super Round match against the Crusaders in Melbourne on Friday night.

    All Blacks Shannon Frizell and Ethan de Groot will have the week off under the All-Black load management programme and are likely available, along with Aaron Smith, for the round three match against the Chiefs.

    I believe this is a Crusaders 'home' game (in other words without the Super Round this one would have been played in Crusaders country).

    Crusaders media release:

    Crusaders Team Named for Super Round v Highlanders

    Crusaders Team Named for Super Round v Highlanders

    The Crusaders have named the squad that will take on the Highlanders at Super Rugby Pacific’s Super Round in Melbourne. The team run out onto AAMI Park on Friday 3 March at 6:00pm AEDT (8:00pm NZDT).

    After a starring debut at Orangetheory Stadium last week, Christian Lio-Willie takes a spot in the starting XV, while Cullen Grace undergoes further assessment after sustaining an injury versus the Chiefs.

    Nothing about Newell's injury. It was his shoulder, wasn't it?

    It'll be interesting to see how long Tamati Williams lasts. He really struggled in his 30mins last week.

    144kgs might be a bit much to carry around in SR this year

    pretty fucking gutless from the Highlanders to rest their 3 highest profile players on the same weekend.

    I hate the decision. Especially when you consider the following

    • Crusaders looked off their game in week one
    • Highlanders won the pre-season match between the sides (3 weeks ago)
    • Last time they played competition match it was only 17-14 to the Crusaders
    • It's just two years ago that the Highlanders won by 21 points in Christchurch

    @Duluth They really should have won that fixture last year too. They blew chance after chance and turned down plenty of shots at goal.

    Highlanders could be in a deep points difference hole early with Chiefs away in week 3.
