    Why did Nanai re-sign with us last year?

    Backrow looks underwhelming, but Taramai has had a good pre-season, so hopefully he's due for a better second season.

    Rieko and Duffie might have to get their attacking opportunities from kicks.

    @duluth said in Highlanders vs Blues:

    Fingers crossed that some of Pulu's passes are accurate.

    Most fans would want most of their halfback's passes to be accurate, but we just want 'some'.😄

    I could live with some bad passes if he played with tempo.

          This is fun.

          Collins gives away the penalty. 3-0.

              Dayum! I'm getting tired from just watching this. What a pace. This is real rugby, not that slow rubbish from the NH.

                He still would have had plenty of work to do, but I’m with you. I was screaming at em to pass it.

                Probably can’t hear me from Tokyo.

                  You know how you don't miss something till it is gone?

                  The opposite applies to Justin Marshall

                        @steven-harris

                        Good work - saw the mismatch and took advantage. If he runs a bit and slows the defense, that Blues backline will get more and more dangerous.

                        Cracking pass from Hoffman there too.

                                Gatland looking good.

                                Preston and Collins looking out of their depth.

                                        FABRT in.

                                        Some decent play by both teams so far, for round 1.

                                          possibly a wee bit fortuitous, but good patience
