Squad Update: Rohan Wingham Elevated into Full Squad

Prop Rohan Wingham has been elevated into the Highlanders full squad, replacing Luca Inch. Wingham graduated from the Highlanders High-Performance Programme and was the captain of his Kings High School's first XV team. He is also a NZ Secondary Schools alumni, making him a homegrown talent with an exciting future ahead of him. 

Solomone Tukuafu also comes into the Wider Training Group and is fresh off three years in Japan playing for Sapporo. Tukuafu hails from Huntly and is a former Hamilton Boys and NZ Secondary Schools team member. 

Inch has withdrawn from Super Rugby in 2024 due to personal reasons.
