C'mon Grubs, if I can take Mrs to rugby on golden wedding anniversary, surely young un would enjoy a day at rugby and a meal somewhere :beaming_face_with_smiling_eyes: It's sure part of your parental reponsibility to make sure she's a balanced kid. Just out of interst mate how old is she now, Me and other half were trying to work it out.

Vern Cotter would be fine.
Except it's more likely to be supercoach Penney.

Probably not. His 'style of play' would probably count against him........

Am I right in thinking coaches haven't been announced?

Article stating Pledger will likely make the team. https://www.thepost.co.nz/sport/360833574/otago-halfback-dylan-pledger-emerges-player-who-can-make-all-blacks-fast-again
From a Highlanders perspective the guys I'd like to see considered
Bartlett
Ma'u (will miss out due to injury)
Taylor
One of Howden/Stodart/Haig
Either Lasaqa of Casey
Withy (I just don't know what his best role is)
Pledger
Tangitau
JRK
I expect CLW will be there out of Otago
@SouthernMann 13 try assists in 7 starts for Pledger is insane numbers, moreso otago discussion but when holland and Hurley were made unavailable I thought we were gonna be average as always luckily Pledger had other ideas 
@SouthernMann Withy might be a decent captain if they see him starting.
