AARON AND BEN SMITH

It will come as no surprise that Aaron and Ben Smith are the first names on this list.

Their experience is unrivaled in the Highlanders squad, and they’re both vital cogs in the side’s backline.

Both read the game well and can make adjustments on the fly, and with a new first-five eighth taking the reins this season, their input and voices on the o ensive end will be that more important.
