Highlanders v Rebels

[Kiwiwomble]

Stan commentator talking about how the nz teams won’t be able to keep up if the Aussie ones can keep the ball moving....

[Bones]

Hah Toomua was pretty lucky there.

Why is Joane running straight into the biggest guys on the park?

[Crazy Horse]

Not a great start from Ioane. Smith looked pissed at him after the second shitty carry.

[nzzp]

So ... high tackles are just a penalty now? Framework ... pffft.

Also, goddamn that Aaron smith pickup and offload in tha ttry was sex on toast. Holy shit I got excited

[taniwharugby]

Couple of great hits by Lentjes so far, then nicely worked try

[Kiwiwomble]

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

[Donsteppa]

Nicely worked try. Rebels blindside looked like a prop trying to get across in cover at the end there.

Two! Missed the first one it was so quick!

[gt12]

Omg Smith with the catch pass. Fucking hell.

[gt12]

That’s why we should compare every other half back to TJP or Weber. No one else is in the same league universe in this country.

[Kiwiwomble]

@gt12 it’s criminal he hasn’t won world player of the year

[gt12]

I like that Rebels jersey.

It’s the best alternate strip in the comp.

[Bones]

Bloody hell rebels pushing the limits, own worst enemy.

[Kiwiwomble]

@gt12 should be their home, too many blue jerseys in the comp

[Bones]

Fuck off he wasn't on his feet

[taniwharugby]

That pass of smiths

[Kiwiwomble]

Ioane really struggling, just looks out of position

[KiwiMurph]

Nareki is the form left wing in the country.

Good point.

That’s the sort of shirt I would buy the T-shirt version of (if I were a Rebels fan of lived locally ) especially.

On that note, Adidas - how about making more jersey replicas in cotton so that we don't get a shirt that stinks after three washes?

[Bones]

I can't help but feel I'd really be interested to see how Nareki's game translates to test level.
