Super Rugby 2020

it's pretty standard at lower levels to play "left and right" at flanker if that's how your trio is made up.

And i would say it's less about the set piece, and more about how they set up on the field.

@Tim Tahs are going to be a fascinating watch this year - new coaches bringing in a completely new style - some sneaky good recruits and a handful of Aus U20s stars.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph I'll admit that I've had this expectation before and it didn't happen, but I think the Tahs will be one of the stronger teams in the competition this year. Definitely a candidate for the play-offs.

You mean...it's their year?

@Stargazer geo-coded?

[Stargazer]

@Bones I'm watching it from NZ.

[Bones]

@Stargazer bugger, doesn't seem to like me coming in from UK - just get "There was an error playing this video". Now I have to do work instead....

[Stargazer]

@Bones Did you try both links?

I don't understand why they're geoblocking preseason games; no broadcaster is losing money as it's not televised.

[KiwiMurph]

Looks like there are some quickly uploaded highlights for each score on Tahs Twitter (not sure if geocoded)

[Stargazer]

This ref has no feel for the nature of the game. Second yellow in a preseason game; this time Tomkinson for coming in from the side.

[taniwharugby]

Pretty messy half, highlanders up 14-7 with 2 x YC, scrums were messy AF...pre-season joy.

2nd stream good quality on phone.

[Bones]

@Stargazer yep - might just be a Bones issue, nevermind.

Angus Bell for the Tahs is going pretty well. Good runner of the ball and seems to be pretty busy.

He's got serious hype on him.
