[QUOTE="TRF Mr Fish, post: 623693, member: 20892"] Wow that Highlanders jersey looks very dark... The Blues will be looking to start their season like they did last year, knocking over a few heavyweights in the process. That being said, if there's any point in the season when the Highlanders have a chance of getting an easier scalp it will be now, when the Blues look a bit off their game. It's likely that Benji Marshall will start his Super Rugby career off the bench, given his so-so performances in the preseason. Elsewhere in the team a number of All Blacks will be missing from the Blues' first match including Ma'a Nonu, Keven Mealamu and Tony Woodcock. This may in fact be beneficial for the Blues, given how averagely these players performed last year. The Highlanders, on the other hand, will not be missing any players. They have next to no injuries, and their two All Blacks (the two Smiths) are available right from the get go. I think we might see an upset. [/QUOTE]
