Highlanders vs Chiefs

[Nepia]

Sheesh, Karpik was slow off the scrum in that one.

[Kirwan]

Great breakout from the Clan, went 60m up the field unlucky not to score really

[Nepia]

Marty paying DMac back for something when they were kids with that hospital pass.

[Kirwan]

42-0 in the first half 3-17 in the second. Game of two halves.

[gt12]

That was stupid.

[Bones]

How often is Ben Smith killing the movement? Mind you, he's coming second by a fair margin to Sopoaga.

[Kirwan]

Hey, when did Frizzell come on?

[Kirwan]

22-45. Lots of points, not a lot of quality

When the Highlanders started scoring points!

And he goes "fuck you all"!

Boomfa!!!

[Bones]

What the fuck was that? No highlanders even thinking about taking the kickoff.

[Kirwan]

Chiefs really need to not blow this bonus point

But they do. Disgraceful really from 42-0

[Damo]

Odd decision to take a shot at goal when so far ahead on the scoreboard, but with the bonus point not secure.

[KiwiMurph]

Bit of a wild game.

Luke Whitelock is fucking average.

[Stargazer]

@kirwan It was a stupid decision from Sam Cane to go for the 3 points instead of the line-out, before the last Highlanders' try.

Even with some poor defence there was some quality tries, esp first half

[Donsteppa]

Highly entertaining game, if thoroughly unprofessional from both teams to only front for a half each. Chiefs deservedly losing their bonus point.

I like the Chiefs wingers, always something happening when they get the ball.

There was some great quality. Some rubbish too, but some very good play in first half.

ALB and Messam showed class. ALB especially was working hard on getting his hands past the tackle to set those outside him free. Just the kind of distribution that cracks defences.

Messam looks like he would still do a proud 60 minutes in black. So much better than Luke of the Whitelocks.
