Rebels vs Highlanders

[Stargazer]

@Steven-Harris LOL, only two years in black? After 2027 RWC is more likely. It may be a shame for Tonga, but not for NZ and Fakatava himself.

[Yeetyaah]

Ahahahaha

[Damo]

Oh well.

Rebels shoudl have gone for a try I reckon. Even if Highlanders got a turnover it seems likely we would have just kicked it out. Not much danger in losing.

[Grooter]

we lost but we advance

[Stargazer]

Fakatava kept the Highlanders in it.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer just hope hes playing behind a decent All Black pack ..that i have my doubts about

[Yeetyaah]

Oh shit didn't realise they still went through. Good game tbh.

[Nevorian]

Never mind Force, most likely would have been a 60+ point drubbing by a full strength Blues next week

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah Ah, so your schadenfreude was aimed at the Landers? I thought the Rebels.

[Bones]

Yuuuuck. Kept in it by shining moments from Harmon, MMT, Fakatava, TUJ.

Paea with his best game though eh, he did one slightly positive thing. Smith with his worst.

[Yeetyaah]

What

[SouthernMann]

Fuck me. What an embrassment. This has been the worst Highlanders outfit since 2013. Only a few players can hold their head high.

Gutted I have to watch that garbage again next week. Was hoping for it to be over...

[Stargazer]

Was TU-J playing?

Yip. Played well.

[Stargazer]

@SouthernMann Didn't really notice him (that can be a good thing in a game full or errors).

I thought he made a couple of nice breaks. I think there is a bit to preserve with interms of his partnership with Timu. Although I would jump at getting PUJ down. Despite being a dipshit last weekend I feel like Gilbert is our 10 in our short-medium term. We need another strike winger to play alongside Nareki, I would almost go after George Bridge. Feel we need to bite the bullet and start Holland at lock come next season.

Highlanders - played 14, won 4..
In the finals

You didn't really notice him shrugging off rebels players willy nilly in the first half?

Oh yeah that's right Havili.
