By RugbyPass
Scotty is back after either a flat tyre or burnt turkey meant he was absent last week. He and Mils talk about the Highlanders v Chiefs clash in Suva and how the Highlanders could bounce back from that against the Crusaders this weekend.
They chat Wyatt Crockett and the role he's played in New Zealand rugby as he gears up for his 200th super rugby game and Scotty lays out what's on the line this weekend as the Super Rugby tables have the potential to get a huge shake up.

The New Zealand performance in the return fixture in 2016 was filthy. A lot of Irish supporters were pretty shocked by it, viewed it as de facto cheating just to avoid another defeat.
Also shocked by the abuse to Ireland, captain, vice-captain and spectators after the full time whistle in Paris defeat, last match.
Sledging is sledging, but that happens during the game and targetting spectators should be completely out of bounds.
The Irish public used to enjoy these matches, even in defeat. Now they are necessary but unpleasant, because NZ apparently cannot accept or respect successful challengers.
Go to commentsThanks for the analysis Nick, thought provoking as usual. Couple of queries though, in the pic where you've circled Williams bind , I'm pretty sure it shows Stuart's knee on the ground, surely that's a NZ penalty? Also having had the chance to watch it again the All Black scrum seeems to improve after halftime, but before either England or the All Blacks replace their props. Not sure if that was the result of Tuipolutu coming on or some halftime tips. Either way this is only Williams second international season, so he'll be better for the experience.
