An interesting addition to the wider training group - they initially tried to get Sean Romans, but he signed for Nottingham.
Kenatale could potentially get quite a bit of game time this season given the Highlanders only have two halfbacks in their main squad, meaning he will be on the bench if either Cowan or Smith gets injured. I've only seen Kenatale play a couple of times: he was solid (if unspectacular) for Fiji at the Rugby World Cup (generally behind a pack going backwards) and was shockingly poor in 40-odd mins for the Barbarians versus Australia (his passing was very poor, and he missed more tackles than I could count!). He obviously has some talent - could someone who has seen more of him describe his playing style and his strengths (and weaknesses) as a player?
