[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 103280"] Good old historical battle this one, I’m sure all Blues supporters will be rubbing their multi-cultural hands in anticipation fully expecting to ‘hump’ the Highlanders. Somewhere in the deep dark south Highlanders supporters will be rubbing their collective hands together at the thought of getting one over on the Blues. Current performances would indicate that the Blues will have this in the bag… I’m not too sure. The Blues are sitting rightly on the top of the ladder while the Highlanders are sitting just above half way. The Highlanders are slowly returning from injury. The return of promising winger Vili Waqaseduadua has added a bit more pace where it was needed and the biggest surprise could be the return of flyhalf Nick Evans (but if he’s not there then if Charlie Hore can keep up his performance from last week the Blues shouldn’t have things completely their own way). There should be some good one on one match ups here… Young Jason MacDonald and Clarke Dermody on Derren Whitcombe and John Afoa upfront should be well worth a watch. James Ryan on Troy Flavell… both internationals. Josh Blackie and Craig Newby on Jerome Kaino and Daniel Braid. Possibly Nick Evans or Charlie Hore and Callum Bruce on Isa Nacewa and Luke McAlister… again should be a good battle to watch. [/QUOTE]
