By comparison, the Highlanders have begun their preparations for the 2020 Super Rugby season in a state of relative calm. When the Highlanders brought back Brown from Japan they did it out of their own budget. Those factors have facilitated Brown's return to the Highlanders, where his ability to improve players should make the Highlanders a competitive outfit in the coming years. But Brown's return is not the only coaching positive for the Highlanders. A fair assessment of the Highlanders' 2020 squad is that has a lot of raw talent but lacks a bit of experience.
