    Blues used Hoskins really well today - making use of his ball playing skills.

    If he makes the ABs that's what i'd like to see him doing. For a loosie his passing and ball skills are elite - make use of it.

      Really hope Beauden Barrett is OK. Nightmares if Mo'unga is our first five.

          Was it just my bias or was RI pretty quiet?

          Result as expected, don’t think any of our boys had a real shocker…just not cohesive enough, and when your not world beaters in skill level wise you need to play like like a single unit…which we dont

                        That was a massive loss. Fingers crossed for him - has been huge this year.

                          I'm just past that. Amazed they didn't have a look.

                          Impressed with Nock this week. Good game, so so much better than his last outing

                            A Smith has been the best halfback in the country (and arguably the world) for a long long time. Critical to our game, and makes such a difference to the Highlanders. Without him, so many games would be blowouts. What a player

                                @steven-harris that's the frustrating thing. One week it's a card - one week it's play on. Just annoying.

                                  Sotutu's having a good game, some really good passing. Creates space if he's doing it rather than then 9. Runs well, and a hell of a fend. Great run, great try. Solid defence.

                                  Smashed in the head earlier, but just 'play on' from the refs. Funny old world.

                                    @steven-harris That's really shocking mate. Last night it was Morgan's spear tackle, and today it is three head shots.

                                      @nzzp I hear you , this is what frustrates the hell out of me as long time follower of the game ,it’s so inconsistent from week to week .
                                      It’s like Death by a thousand cards ..!

                                        also, how the hell did Coltman drop his bind, tackle the ball carrier at a maul on the 5 going forward and not get a card? Astonishing given what they dish cards out for (see the Romano card in the last Highlanders Blues game a fortnight ago)

                                          @nzzp thought that at the time there’s that inconsistency again .
                                          Get the impression if Pickerall had been the official he would have looked at everything.
