2nd row for my 2022 highlander stoped sliding forward and it’s only the two chair connected on the right side but the single chair on the left side works fine. Any helpful recommendations on how to fix this issue.

Chiefs v Highlanders – 7.35pm, Friday 30th March, Waikato Stadium, Hamilton
Which Highlander achieved the most wearing the Jersey that we all know and love.
Damn. Pretty disheartening loss. We got blown out, so disappointing. Tough travel schedule partly for blame for that; but in general we just didn't show up today apart from a few.
Lions*, goddamn can't edit titles.

###Player of the Season Poll
Next week I will post a Player of the Season poll. Any nominations for players that should appear? I think so far I'll include our All Blacks + Matt Faddes + Patrick Osborne.
Perhaps I'll make a "Rookie of the Season" and/or "Most Disappointing Player of the Season" poll too.
##Lions vs Highlanders
The Semi-Finals. It's serious now. The Highlanders a facing the best South African team, who have had a phenomenal season including wins over the Blues and Chiefs and have been consistent throughout making them the #2 seed. After a tight victory against the Brumbies the Highlanders will be hoping for another away win.
If we win and the Chiefs win the final will be at Forsyth Barr Stadium.

The options are: Highlanders, Otago, Southland, North Otago and All Blacks. So go ahead and choose whichever you prefer!

##Brumbies vs Highlanders
Following a fantastic win from the Highlanders over the Chiefs, here we are with the 5th seed. The Brumbies defeated a poor Force side to host this quarter-final. They'll have their best player back in Pocock whilst our co-captain Shane Christie is back in business too.
Realistically with our fifth seed we will be hoping to see all NZ teams advance as that would give us a home semi-final.

##Highlanders vs Chiefs
After a crucial bonus point win placing us in third place in the NZ Conference we are now within a win's reach of being 1st in NZ if all results go our way. With a win against the Chiefs and a win or draw from the Hurricanes over the Crusaders we could very well end up in the top position in New Zealand. However, this is a very impressive Chiefs side who have had a remarkable season so far.
