Highlanders v Force

[Bones]

Fucking yes! Go Gilbert!

Wouldn't have minded seeing Smith there outside Fakatava either.

Paea shuffled out to where he can cause the least amount of plays to break down.

Love it.

I just wish they could have changed Gregory's position to.. Left right out..

At least we know what to expect when the ball gets to the wing. Ruck or turnover.

@Duluth here's hoping paea will be able to shut down former Mainlander Manasa Mataele

[Bovidae]

Is Gilbert is decent goal kicker? I suppose he can't be any worse than Hunt has been this season.

[taniwharugby]

@Bones either wing with those wingers...

Loving his resurgence. He's Taukieaho lite

[hydro11]

Force looked clearly over the ball there with the Highlanders not releasing. Unless the Force were off their feet, they should have won the penalty.

[Mattasaurus]

Force very hard done by there..
Felt it was a penalty to them at that ruck..

Happy to get 1st blood though..

[Grooter]

Yeah the boys

[Bones]

Loving the resurgence of MMT too! Gilbert is having a cracking year.

[Mattasaurus]

Gilbert's started well, and even Gregory has made a tackle and caught the ball

[hydro11]

I'm not really sure how that ruck where the ball came free should have been refereed, but Smith inadvertently kicks it and I am not sure he came through the gate. Still good play by the Highlanders to take advantage.

[Bones]

Is being held up from a kick off different than being held up from a kick?
