Hurricanes vs Highlanders

[Bones]

Coltman has been good at lineout time so far. Phew.

[Stargazer]

High tackle Fidow. Should be a card.

[Chris]

Goodbye Fidow

[mariner4life]

Have a seat and a holiday fuckhead

[Machpants]

What a twat

[Bones]

Looks to have hit shoulder and slid up.

[mariner4life]

I take it back not as bad as I thought. Penalty at worst.

[Machpants]

Yeah probably a yellow today tho

Yes. It looked worse on first viewing.

[Bones]

Think they missed a trick though - after the initial hit he then dragged him down by the neck. Which they didn't watch.

[Chris]

Looked better in slow mo

[Tim]

Contact at first on the elbow?

[Machpants]

Phew

[No Quarter]

The ABs have a big problem at 10. Right now we're reliant on Beauden's confidence being high, and his 'X' factor plays coming off.

I am far from convinced that is going to win us tight tests come the pointy end of the RWC. At least one of those games, if not all three, will be an in the trenches fucking war.

DMac... Yeah nah.

Mo'unga... untested. Is used to getting a free ride behind a pack that is three times better than the next best. How will he handle it when the AB pack is getting battered by the monstrous Irish?

Might be a discussion worthy of it's own thread but it's a big concern at the moment.

[KiwiMurph]

After giving the ref shit he did very well there.

[antipodean]

You ladies all done with your outrage?

I thought he hit him in the head and then had a 2nd go as well. Turns out I was massively wrong

[Paekakboyz]

Let's walk that back guys. Pitchforks on ice etc

[Chris]

Is Savea on the field

[Bones]

@mariner4life they didn't show on the replay where he had a 2nd go and wrapped him right around the neck.
