Highlanders release 'ultimate' jersey in Ben Smith's honour
By Josh Raisey
Ahead of their final home game of the Super Rugby season, the Highlanders released “the ultimate jersey” in honour of Ben Smith.
The shirt was framed, and comprises of the four teams that the fullback has played for, Otago, Green Island, the Highlanders and Kings High School. Smith is a Highlanders legend, and is set to leave New Zealand after the World Cup this year, with French outfit Pau likely to be his next destination.
This is the shirt the Highlanders created:

There is a major story unfolding around Gleeson's bar in Booterstown, South Dublin City last night. Beaudy Barrett, DMac and Cody Taylor were there. DMac was supposed to be on the Guinness 0.0 but lets just say it didn't turn out that way.
Hours later, Dmac out cold, head on the table with a long stallagtite of flem and spittle rising and falling with his breathing. There is a video apparently.
The barman barred a staggering Taylor from any more Guinness but Taylor kept pushing past him, pulled a seat up to the Guinness tap and personally pulled himself pints, claiming it was 'celebrity pint pulls mate'.
One of these celebrity pint pulls made a local paper but it's only a matter of time before the real context comes out. Dmac is out of the team for Friday due to breaking 'internal standards', Sititi starting at 10.

I tell you what though, the head knock from Kriel on Hugh jones in the wc that didn’t result in any card was a real mystery with the way things are now.
Also suspect the Boks will be pretty well motivated by glasgows antics in stellenbosch last week and loftus in June…
Should be a cracker hopefully!
