        Yeah good fresh injection when a number of the Landers looked out on their feet and all that tackling/defending had taken its toll.

          @tim Plummer especially. Clutch kicks. Gibson had to just fall over but nothing wrong. Ruru? Remember him throwing the ball into touch….

            Nock lovers are boring.

            Ruru had a great fast clearance to make that try and Gibson worked hard to be there. Was good play

                  Tuipulotu coming back on seemed to calm the team. Coincidence? Might have been a lucky break for the coaches to have him come back on.

                    If Plummer can kick under pressure like that, then I'd probably prefer him to Black at 10.

                      @kirwan equally Christie fluffers!

                      BUt it says somethign when Ruru comes on and improves the play at 9 (aside form that wild pass, but was under advantage anyway)

                        2018 vibes for those kicks.

                          @tim bit silly to take him off in the first place IMO.

                            Moment of the game for me was the one handed tackle from Dalton.

                                      Blues deserved to win but they are ill disciplined on attack and defence and almost lost it. Better handling and decisions and the game should have been all but over at halftime. Highlanders did a scrappy job staying in the game and winning kickable pens. Biggest mistake was going blind side of the attacking scrum in the last 15 minutes when they should have rumbled up the middle and kicked the inevitable penalty. Led to a go ahead sideline pen and the Blues never looked back
