Blues v Highlanders

[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.

Forward out of the hands. Clearly forward.

[Higgins]

Score please?

[Kirwan]

11-12 to the clan.

[Stargazer]

@kirwan Clearly, I disagree.

[gt12]

11-12 (landers)

@kirwan Clearly, I disagree.

And are wrong.

[gt12]

@kirwan

Not clear and obvious to me either, so I think it's a bit of rough call. Good for the blues to have a few go their way though (especially, when they aren't playing the Chiefs).

thompson was in front of waldren so offside
