Waisake Naholo Highlander All Black in the running

#MongolianHighlandersFans previosly blogged about #WaisakeNaholo attitude and how it contributed to him becoming an #AllBlack (see here). Now the same positive attitude could reap benefits again as he seems likely to get the nod to join the world cups squad. 

"All Blacks coach Steve Hansen is understood to be leaning towards the shock inclusion of Highlanders wing sensation Waisake Naholo in his World Cup squad of 31 to be announced on Sunday.

Naholo suffered a fine fracture to his fibula during a promising test debut for the All Blacks against Argentina in Christchurch in July.

At the time the injury was given a three-month recovery timetable and Naholo was presumed to be unavailable for selection for the World Cup squad.

But the situation has changed dramatically in recent weeks with the 24-year-old, who scored a record-breaking 13 tries for the Highlanders in 2015, said to have made significant progress on the back of "alternative" treatment undertaken in his homeland of Fiji." more...

One of his #AllBlack team mates will obviously miss out if #WaisakeNaholo gets that call and we can feel for that fellow. Yet, when it comes down to close calls Steve Hansen could well be wanting to blood  players into world cup experience with an eye on #JapanRugbyWorldCup2019.

All Blacks Men in Black Air New Zealand video

Posted on by

#JusttheTicketHighlandersMongolianFanClub are just rapt with the new Air New Zealand saftey video made inconjuction with the #AllBlacks featuring a number of the team.

“We’re used to seeing them demolish all before them on the rugby pitch but this new video shows the All Blacks as you’ve never seen them before!

The brilliant promotional film, released overnight by New Zealand’s chief sponsors #AirNewZealand, features #AllBlacks stars such as #DanCarter and #RichieMcCaw taking on the roles of characters from the hit movie franchise Men In Black.

The big budget flight safety video, entitled ‘Men in Black Safety Defenders’ is set to #WillSmith’s iconic tune that accompanied the hit films and sees the likes of #MartinJohnson and #DavidCampese making cameos alongside Frank the pug and Agent Zed from the big screen hit”.

It has been watched by more than 220,000 people in less than 24 hours and has received rave reviews. It’s certainly a far cry from the normally mundane aeroplane safety videos passengers are required to sit through before every flight.

Coach #SteveHansen, rapping full-back #IsraelDagg, #KieranRead, #SamWhitelock and #KevinMealamu are other top All Black players to star in the internet hit alongside New Zealand recording artist #StanWalker.”

#IsraelDagg played a leading rap role. We are wondering if this little bit of off the field action has of late been effecting his on field play?
