Brumbies v Highlanders

[SouthernMann]

Some talented backs in that brumbies backline. No idea how they are so shithouse with such a dominant pack

[KiwiInLondon]

I bang on about it, but that decision not to take the points is indicative of the deeper issues this team has with on field decision making

I think we have the captains around the wrong way. Withy as the decision maker and Jim as the follow me guy.

I’m not sure Withy is that guy at all. Doesn’t have the temperament. We need someone who is cool, calm, and collected and can communicate well. I look around that team and don’t see anyone that fits that description

There isn't one. Which is what you'd expect in a team with an average age or 23. You make do. Or you slap it to someone youngish, or a holder like Renton. The problem is the experienced guys are not close to the beat players in their position. I see Oli Haig as a captain. I'm not sure who else.

@KiwiInLondon you just described Withy… you sure you’re talking about the right guy?

I’m not convinced after years of watching Otago rugby that Withy is the man for that

Being pushed into being a provincial captain at 22?

I thought his leadership at Southland was pretty solid last year.

I'm liking Howden on the blind.

[Bones]

Even the commentators showing disdain in their tone for the Landers turnovers.

[KiwiMurph]

Holland once again underwhelming

[Landers92]

Good work lads. Stay in the fight

[Bones]

Way fucks himself with "stripped in the tackle" instead of tackler not releasing

[Grooter]

Hastie once again good tonight I feel

Has been physical and abrasive. Made a massive difference

Solid around the park. Those penis fingers inside the 22, not so much.

I'm a fan - he seems to have time

Yeah just needs to work on focus and application - has an awful tendency to be a spectator.

[SouthernMann]

Nareki is still being his slippery self. But he's last a fair bit of speed. Was absolutely gased by Sam Gilbert in that kick chase

[Landers92]

That is great clearance from Robinson there
