Super Rugby Aotearoa: Tony Brown insists Highlanders ‘are as good as anyone’ – Stuff.co.nz
Jona Nareki set to return for Crusaders game as Highlanders coach takes comfort in strong comebacks from Pari Pari Parkinson and Thomas Umaga-Jensen.
Key wing Jona Nareki is likely to return for the crunch game against the Crusaders in Christchurch on Friday and Thomas Umaga-Jensen will sooner or later take up residence in the midfield as the Highlanders try to save a season that is slowly slipping south.
After Friday’s 30-19 loss to the Hurricanes in Dunedin, coach Tony Brown revealed that Nareki had been touch and go for the game but another week should be enough for him to get over a hip pointer injury.
