    Why are teams usually so content just to kick it out with the last play of the half?
    Why not try to work your way up field to get a penalty?

    Blues are not really any more likely to score than the Highlanders from that position.

        Blues players bleaching their hair isn't helping the commentators. Noticed several times how they confused Rieko, Sotutu and even Akira (whose hair is pink).

          It's not that hard. They have numbers.

              @KiwiMurph Yeah, that should help when the numbers are actually visibile, but that's not always the case.

                Don't they know that the commentators need every player to have a distinct hair style to correctly identify them? There numbers on their jerseys are meaningless!

                  Was that not a penalty against the Blues? Knock on and Akira who is infront of the ball handler tries to grab it then kicks it away when the Landers player is trying to get at it?

                      That looked like the easiest of tries from Mitch Hunt! The Blues defence still mentally in the sheds?

                        Good try Highlanders, started by Mikaele-Tu'u. Poor passage of play from Nock.

                                    The difference between making your tackles and not.

                                        I'm a Nock fan but that was shit. Shit kick and then error.
