Have to remember that during the Highlanders trial games, that they have been either leading at or just trailing at halftime. After that they have been known to empty their bench that has been full of lesser squad members. If the Highlanders can put out their strongest team, then they will add to their usual defensively stoic ability with some true attacking flair. For the first time in many years I see the Highlanders backline as one that can truly penetrate opponents defensive lines. The likes of Dagg, Vainaikolo, Shoemark and Hayward are attacking weapons that teams looking at us will have to keep a close eye on. So in short don't write us off.
