Blues v Highlanders

[Donsteppa]

Dodgy try.

[Kirwan]

Defence optional. Going to be one of those games.

[Stargazer]

This should be a try to Ruru.

So he's got back the five he gave away inside the first minute

[Kirwan]

Team looks like they have just met. Three close in passes going to nobody.

[KiwiMurph]

Ref doesnt communicate to anyone. Not ideal for anyone.

[Kirwan]

Nice work dalton!

Kid looks the real deal.

[Kirwan]

Nice recovery from a terrible start, at least the players don’t give up.

[Donsteppa]

At the risk of being Captain Obvious, there's a big difference in class between the Highlanders halfbacks...

[KiwiMurph]

Blues backline looks a bit more balanced.

[Bones]

Highlanders 42 tackles to blues 4 after 17 minutes. Yikes.

[Kirwan]

So many highlanders not clearing the ruck and just laying there. Could have had three more penalties for that.

[Kirwan]

Dalton does great work and perofeta throws it away

[KiwiMurph]

Papalii is really really good.

[Kirwan]

Falcon try! Because fuck forcing it right?

[Donsteppa]

Highlanders backs look like they've barely been introduced, but somehow the blundering pass is not covered by the Blues.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph Yes, although he was a bit lucky with that turnover. It was made easy because the Highlanders player fell over one of the Blues players when caught the ball.

[Kirwan]

Blues escape! Forward pass

[Stargazer]

That pass wasn't forward.
