Brumbies v Highlanders

[Grooter]

@SouthernMann think this might be the first time in ages none of the landers 23 have any experience at Test level, no de groot or fakatava tonight and even in recent lean years there's been a Jermaine Ainsley or Patchell involved

[Bovidae]

These stats aren't great reading for the Highlanders:

• The ACT Brumbies have won their last four games against the Highlanders
• The last four Super Rugby Pacific games at GIO Stadium between these two sides have been separated by one or two points at half-time
• The ACT Brumbies have won 11 of their last 12 games at GIO Stadium, whilst the Highlanders have lost 10 of their last 11 games in Australia

A card within the first minute on what was the first tackle

[KiwiMurph]

I understand it's a contact sport but that type of head contact is avoidable - dumb shit

[Mattasaurus]

correct call

[SouthernMann]

Got to take advantage of the 14 man advantage. Jeez that breakdown is haunting us

So reckless he hardly made contact. Not like UJ had only just caught it either. Saved a red by being a spaz.

[Bones]

Glad we've got Way in a game we probably won't win anyway.

Robinson showing the prerequisite kickoff out on the full skill to be an AB

[antipodean]

That looks like a clear red card to me.

[SouthernMann]

Going to be hard to play rug y without the ball.

Think he's saved by being so inaccurate it was only glancing contact.

And because the guy he hit is an absolute fridge of a human being

Get a card and do absolutely nothing with the man advantage. Classic highlanders game management

Some beautiful work there from Gilbert and Nateki for Tangitau to finish there.
