The Highlanders have obvioulsy not updated the list, considering Halanukonuka is in the starting line-up

[Bovidae]

@Stargazer Halanukonuka is named in the team?

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae Yup, just edited my post when yours came through.

[Stargazer]

Late change to the Highlanders line-up: Siate Tokolahi will come into the Highlanders XV at tighthead prop & Guy Millar takes place on the bench. So no Halanukonuka.

Fast paced game so far.

And BB misses a kick. Let Jordie kick Beauden.

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Nice work by the forwards there. Ardie looking good at 8.

[Mattasaurus]

Landers d is good...but good simple footy from canes.

[Mattasaurus]

Great goosey

[Rancid Schnitzel]

What a waste of time.

[Stargazer]

About Ardie at no.8. I'm wondering whether Hansen and co. have asked the Canes to play Ardie at 8? Just like they have, according to the media, asked the Saders to play Tamanivalu at wing? Because, maybe, they want another option for the ABs no. 8.?

[Mattasaurus]

Fuck iff thats okay... great technique.....but would've liked to see the earlier tackle

[Nepia]

Good decision by Gardner.

Yeah maybe. He looks very comfortable there. Well so far anyway.....

[Rancid Schnitzel]

C'mon guys. Landers defence excellent, but there should have been another try at least.

[Mattasaurus]

Canes miles offside

[Mattasaurus]

Lovely line and pass

[Stargazer]

Faddes comes on for Fekitoa and boom, try!

What kind of injury did Feki get off for?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

Dammit.
