RugbyU: Winless Highlanders in new SOS Japan call

April 2, 2013 22:00
Struggling Super 15 side the Otago Highlanders have been forced to send another SOS to an aging New Zealand player in Japan, this time bringing back former All Black Mose Tuiali'i. The 32-year-old Tuiali'i, who played nine Tests for the All Blacks and has been in Japan since 2008, returns to replace injured backrower Nasi Manu. He becomes the fifth New Zealand player brought back from Japan in the past two years to bolster the Highlanders, who are the only winless side in this year's Super 15 competition.

RugbyU: Blues dismiss green image to down Hurricanes

The new-look Auckland Blues produced an upset in their first outing of the season with a 34-20 win over the Wellington Hurricanes in their Super 15 match on Saturday. Much of the pre-season talk in New Zealand conference circles had been that the Blues would struggle under new coach John Kirwan and with more than half the squad new to Super Rugby. The Hurricanes on the other hand made the least changes of any New Zealand franchise in the off-season, yet they lacked cohesion.
