    This is the kind of game that fresh legs could cause havoc, it’s been played at a hell of a pace, and physical so there’ll be tired bodies out there.

      Oh Naholo....
      I dear say they would have come back to check the pass anyway if he’d scored.
      Looked forward to me.

                    Speaking of forward passes, he missed that one right in front of him. Doesn’t matter though, penalty Highlanders.

                      Good first play of the game GPT...
                      Had them under pressure so was no need for that silly shit.

                            Pretty comfortable win for the Highlanders really.
                            Stormers has a tonne of possession and territory but couldn’t do anything with it.

                              Aaron Smith has started the season in some sort of form.

                                Good win in the end, Stormers ran out of gas but look pretty dangerous. Bet they’ll be a hard team to beat at home.

                                Landers probably should have scored more, but bonus point win is a good takeaway. Smith outstanding.

                                  Just imagine if Smith and Warner were on the same field. A battle of the verbals between two midgets.

                                    I’d love to see Smith fire Warner up enough that he has a crack at him just before BBBR steps in for his team mate and squashes him like the maggot he is!

                                      Smith is tiny by rugby standards but is probably much bigger and stronger than Warner.

                                        A good win to the Landers but boy did they throw some meat pies out there, they gave away a lot of possession via missed/loose passes. Lucky the Stormers couldn’t translate possession into points.

                                        The new ruck laws sure appear to have added to the speed of the game. I believe they will ultimately benefit NZ sides who are usually very fit and benefit from a quicker pace.

                                        It will be interesting to watch how coaches and teams adapt to these laws.

                                        I also cannot recall any or many scrum resets? Not sure
                                        if this is as a result if new laws or playing under the roof.

                                        What an athlete and player A Smith is, he played 80 fast paced minutes and still looked fresh. He really is the conductor of this team, he is constantly talking and organising on D and attack. When he plays well so does the team.
