Highlanders v Sharks

[KiwiMurph]

Smart play by the Sharks to use the advantage and use the ball rather than just play for the penalty.

Highlanders look likely in attack just need to hold the ball.

Sharks in again. Nothing really going right for the Landers.

You can say that again

[Stargazer]

Speedbump Nareki couldn't tackle in M10 Cup, and - no surprise - still can't tackle in SR.

@antipodean Sharks in again. Nothing really going right for the Landers.

[antipodean]

First half. Sharks look like contenders. Highlanders would have difficulty beating the Rebels.

[Stargazer]

The positives are Mikaele-Tu'u and Aaron Smith. That's about it for the Landers.

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer Smith's thrown a few shit passes.

[Jailbreak7]

Bloody Landers need to wake the fuck up and get a bloody grip!

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah A few, but also some really good ones, only for others to butcher the few chances he created.

I can see why Fainga'anuku hasn't been offered a full time contract. Dude just runs into 3 defenders and gets turned over.

I think the saffas have figured out NZ rugby. Their backs are bigger and stronger than us and they are jumping on our mistakes and anticipating shit we use to get away with. Hmm.

@gt12 He was fucking awful in the NPC last year.

Well, he was no David Havili, but he was the top try scorer in the competition.

Didnt think he was very impressive for Ta$man given the Rolls Royce team around him

@Yeetyaah They should've signed AJ Lam.

Maybe wait until they have played the Chiefs and Crusaders? That conclusion seems a bit premature.

Perhaps NZ needs a steroid problem at high school too...

[broughie]

@Stargazer Might be wrong but I reckon the needle is moving in their direction.

McKay? Really?

[Chris B.]

@Stargazer Yep - but, now I've had to double check...

@broughie I don't think it's just the Saffas. The BILs showed the way and we have yet to work out a solution.
