Was Wellington that bad?
You haven't been to Wellington?
Numerous times.
The Rebels' decision to go back home between NZ games has had major implications, which will cost the Highlanders (and likely the Chiefs) in the pocket.

Surely they'd be reimbursed. Its their home game.

sio staying on the wing, once again pretty happy with that squad
Lentjes has been with us since 2015 and this is only just his 50th cap, shows how injuries have hindered him

You would hope so, but where does the money come from? SR TT would be a NZR-RA tournament so I suppose both national bodies end up paying for it. Refunding tickets, the loss of hospitality income and the additional travel/accommodation costs would be significant.
I'll be curious if Sky is also sending over their commentators scheduled to broadcast this game.

Sydney ticket sales for one.

I'd like to see Gregory run it a bit more, he doing the basics well at 12, but seems to just be moving the ball on but we know he has some pace and power, needs to back himself

Get in Collins!

Stan commentator talking about how the nz teams won’t be able to keep up if the Aussie ones can keep the ball moving....
-
Not a great start from Ioane. Smith looked pissed at him after the second shitty carry.

-
Couple of great hits by Lentjes so far, then nicely worked try
-
That is one of our best tries this year at least, a turn over, line break, amazing hands from some of the low numbers and then send it wide
