Highlanders vs Blues
-
Brilliant kick from Thompson, he's having a great game. Somewhere @Bones is watching this with a boner.
-
That card has been costly,but I can’t help feel those changes were made far too early
-
fuck yes...some fucking outstanding tries in this game
-
HIA for Hemopo...although looks clear

walk away Akira, walk away

Just giving his mate a bit of shit, you could aee the smirk on his face as he approached.
-
You just no it’s not gonna be your night when when there’s daylight Reiko Ioane and the ball rolls over the touch line.
-
That is heartbreaking for the Blues, awesome breakout and Rieko an inch away from being away.
-
the ball wins the race

@no-quarter still not a good look, give your mate a bit too hard of a push...

sucked up time too

41-34
FRantic game, some excellent play, pretty decent for this early.
Ref certainly had a hand in this, with a harsh YC (by which I think Squire didnt deserve one either) but reckon SBW was lucky not to get one for his deliberate knock
-
Bugger..!,fantastic opening game,not the result from a Blues piece but the at this level is all about nailing the small margins,
Found the yellow card a bit hard to swallow but if if that is the standard yellow card for a so called high tackle I will be watch other decisions made by the officials with great interest -

I think Collins has played well. Glenn Preston was terrible but other than that everyone has gone ok. Pulu's inaccurate passing continues to cost us.
Really? I missed the first 20 but has his passing actually lost points?
I think he has shown good leadership. Has been very focussed and determined. That will filter through. Notice when they kicked for the corner he allowed a little discussion, heard the reasoning but then strongly stepped in and pointed to the touch line. Non nonsense stuff that the Blues need. -
These blues supporters aye!
Not sure if can complain as a nz rugby supporter. All players played pretty good imo. Blues had fire power but just came up short. Was impressed with gatland but if I was going to pick a difference in the game it was A Smith v Pulu. His ability to play field position and run game in last 10-15min stood out. Any good from both teams -
Great game, rugby under the roof is just awesome. Landers looking really good again despite Hammett, and the Blues shouldn't be too disheartened by that, lots of really positive signs. The card really hurt them.
Fuck the NZ conference is going to be strong again.

@crucial Yup, led to Rob Thompson's 2nd try.
Not good enough from us. Same shit different year where we lose yet another close NZ derby game. May as well have lost by 50.

What a bloody stupid thing to say, may have lost, card was tough but shit mate give credit where it is due. The Gane was bloody good.
