QF Blues v Highlanders

[Machpants]

All the games so far lopsided, scrappy affairs, really just go straight to semis next year, play an extra pool game

[KiwiMurph]

I feel like Hoskins is drifting out of games a lot less. These days just gets stuck in.

Blues scrum messing with them there.

[Tim]

Different with two full sized locks in the scrum.

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby so much power coming through the 2nd row

[Stargazer]

I think Fakatava did an excellent job replacing Smith as a starter. No surprise Hammington only gets 2 minutes.

@Tim have to think there will be a reshuffle.in the tight 5 next week

[Steven Harris]

Nepo Laulala ..hands like feet

You'd hope so Vs brumbies

[Tim]

How good from Sullivan.

[Damo]

We have given it a good go tonight but we are outclassed. We deserve a try.

[Machpants]

Some players really standing out there, good too see. Love too see it running into the internationals

[antipodean]

Zarn Sullivan has to be a lock for the Maori team against Ireland.

Give tries to nil. Gotta love that defence.

[Stargazer]

Well-played Blues. More than deserved that win.

Call me biased, I don't care, but I think MMT was better than Sotutu and Fakatava better than Christie. Also think de Groot was better than his opposite.

Highlanders held back by that stupid red card, and by players who are just not up to it (Banks is just one example).

Not sure about mmt, both were good but different. Christie was rubbish so not hard

Exactly. Both MMT and Sotutu were very good. Fakatava great signs for ABs.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph I didn't say Sotutu wasn't good. I just think MMT was better in this game.
