Both Liam Squire and Jason Emery have been added to an ever-growing list which has seen the side decimated. Squire injured his knee in the first half of Saturday's game against the Crusaders and will miss four to six weeks. They join a long list that includes, among others, Ben Smith, Ash Dixon, Dan Pryor, James Lentjes and Shane Christie. Having lost their first two games, the Highlanders' match against the Blues at Eden Park on Saturday is crucial. Players have always been motivated by opportunity and a lot of players are getting that so we're really happy.
