WELLINGTON (Reuters) - A neck injury to Blade Thomson rather than a desire to shake up his game plan or selections was the reason behind naming two openside flankers to face the Otago Highlanders on Friday, Wellington Hurricanes coach Mark Hammett has said.
Hammett made the unconventional decision to name both his openside flankers Ardie Savea and Jack Lam to start against the Highlanders in Dunedin with normal blindside flanker Faifili Levave moving to the back of the scrum.
