Highlanders vs Moana

[SBW1]

MP have a fair bit of firepower on their day. Can see them knocking an Aussie team out of contention. Not so sure of the Highlanders, if they lose today they are as good as done.

Late changes.

Renton out and Stodart coming in at 8 for him. Jake Te Hiwi drops out and Filimone comes on to the bench for him.

Renton is a real loss, good leader.

Forced to fast track Stodart a bit with Broughton being out injured too. At least it’s getting the young man some good experience nice and early

Hastie's severe lack of haste exposed 3-4 times already.

[Landers92]

Messy but some nice pressure built. Opportunist try. Dumb off load from Moana

[African Monkey]

Well constructed try for Moana.

[Landers92]

In true Highlanders form. We score a try and then concede one within 2 minutes

[Bones]

@Landers92 not a good look for Haig having a smaller midfielder go through him.

[Grooter]

Howden going well today

[Landers92]

Get Jonah Lowe in the all blacks

[Steven Harris]

JGB an absolute liability for Moana would make a good case for a 9 & 10 partnership with Enari for the Canes
JGB’s non game management beggars belief

Certainly scoring tries more consistently than Springer...

[African Monkey]

Ohhh great finish from @Bones mate Lalomilo Lalomilo.

Be interested to see how his defensive efforts stack up towards the end of the season. Definitely contributes well on attack and is improving every week.

Smokey for the ABs.

[Landers92]

Great work Withy

[Steven Harris]

Just cynical from Howden no attempt to roll out of the area

[Landers92]

2 attacking line outs inside the 22 and 2 overthrows. Little things like this stack up and is why we are as inconsistent as we are

Another NZ rugby dumb thing. Over complicating crucial lineouts and handing the opposition the ball.

[Steven Harris]

Moana butchering so many opportunities could come back to bite them

[Landers92]

Vikena is having an absolute shocker. May as well of let Ardie walk through that tackle
