Highlanders v Rebels

@Stargazer said in Highlanders v Rebels:

@KiwiMurph Health and safety of players comes first. The Rebels know well enough it would be the same if it was one of their players going down like that.

Rebels would argue it was nowhere near play and the healthy and safety of the player would be attended to exactly the same without the game being stopped.

@Stargazer like they’re not f**ked already! But yep there captain gone ain’t helping

[sparky]

Mauger and Hammett are rubbish coaches. Insane to let them loose on a Super franchise.

[Stargazer]

@sparky Tony Brown is there, too.

[98blueandgold]

@sparky nothing to do with coaches, look at the team they have now! Lost faaar to much talent and have mitre 10 players out there.

Meakes doesn’t get much credit. He’d go ok for the Wallabies IMO

[98blueandgold]

Lineout has been this season no matter who plays!

[Stargazer]

Josh Ioane: tackles made 5; tackles missed 3

[hydro11]

Kicking game has been a big difference in this game.

Was coming to post the same thing, he’s just not strong enough on defense to play 12. They’re just making their life so hard - play him at 10.

Good try... happy

@Stargazer

Further to that, he’s run for all of 7 meters, so they aren’t getting any meters from anyone in back line apart from Thompson.

Nice try here!

[Stargazer]

@gt12

Metres run:
Nareki 70
Mikaele-Tu'u 39
Collins 18
A Smith 18
Thompson 16

And now most stats seem to have disappeard from the ESPN site ...

Can't belive BOK was ragging on Smith. He's been amazing - his pass is exceptional, and he's there every time the ball is available. Honesly the pass... hnnngh

[Stargazer]

No knock on but forward pass, Disappointing. So close.

[hydro11]

That was a shocking planned move. The percentages were so low on that, I can't believe a team would plan to do that. If they do I don't see why the right wing would not be in a position for contingency.

[gt12]

That right there is the other problem with the way the highlanders are attacking.

[taniwharugby]

earlyseason form, probably lucky Brown turned down the AB job...

[gt12]

Jesus Christ. If they went wide right earlier, they were there.
