    LF for all the hype was very disappointing
    Crusaders not their usual clinical best but full credit to the Landers for their D

                  Was impressed by Tangitau's all around work - made his tackles - kick chase. Hope it continues.

                        Great grit from Highlanders. But Fakatava and Millar need to be more clinical than they were tonite, allowing Crusaders back in it. Blackadder and Jordan went ok. Jonah Lowe has some nice touches, as did JRK

                          Put an inside combo of Pledger and Jacomb and that backline goes up a level.

                            Only saw second half, but wasn't impressed by Crusaders halfbacks. Early days yet though.

                                Jamie Joseph certainly looks like someone who will be named AB coach. He looks over the moon.

                                    He may well be - but he is comfortably the best we have, and he consistently nails those moments.

                                      No use powering into defenders if you can't hold onto the ball. Ongoing problem for Leicester that they need to work out. Teams know what he's going to do and attack that.

                                      Far too many soft dropped balls by the Crusaders - LF, Ennor and Gardiner all guilty of shockers.

                                      Jordan looking like a five-time World Team of the Year player. Nearly won it on his own.

                                          @Chris-B. said in Highlanders v Crusaders (round 1):

                                          Far too many soft dropped balls by the Crusaders - LF, Ennor and Gardiner all guilty of shockers.

                                          CLW too. Got well outplayed by his otago teammate Casey.
