Highlanders vs. Hurricanes

@donsteppa must be the presence of Hammett in the coaches box.

[Tim]

Perenara having a shit game tonight. Not taking control.

[dingo]

Has there ever been a player like A Savea?

He is appearing to make a career out of wading through heavy traffic, gaining a meter or so and looking like a million dollars on TV, but then is completely invisible in the rest of the game.

He'll do well up north.

[Gunner]

Wow, the ball skills in the lead up to that try!!!

[Machpants]

Fkn blade Thompson not trusting his inside man, leaving Naholo of all people with space.

Great hands there tho

[Tim]

Great try.

Hurricanes doing a Blues impression.

[antipodean]

Great try. Well worked to get space.

[Donsteppa]

A disorganised Canes outfit needing to play catchup rugby. This should be fun!

[Gunner]

Take the 3 this time and get it beyond 14, surely?

[Rancid Schnitzel]

I used to enjoy Fridays.) :

[Machpants]

Did Ben Smith just run over the penalty Mark? Haha, canes so bad, glad tests coming up so I'm not put through these blues like performances

[Stargazer]

Frizell has come on.

[No Quarter]

They've been bloody woeful. Saders odds on to take the title.

Packing at lock.

[Stargazer]

Excluding games against the Blues, no NZ team has won a NZ derby away from home yet. It certainly won't happen tonight.

[Machpants]

Blade Thompson had been a disaster since he's come on too

[Stargazer]

Try saver from West.

[dingo]

That was an awesome counter ruck from the highlanders irrespective of weather a try was scored.

[Hooroo]

This is some good rugby by the highlanders

You can’t exclude the Blues from NZ just yet, that crazy politician lady still needs enough signatures for her referendum before the North Shore becomes its own country.
Dunno what’ll happen with Auckland when that happens - Chiefs might take pity on them perhaps?
