Jaguares v Highlanders
-
Strange passage of play. The jags attack beautifully, kick ahead, Ben Smith cleans up and counter attacks. Highlanders then lose the ball in contact. The ball get spread wide and Thompson picks up loose ball for the Highlanders and scores. Highlander 14 Jags 3.
-
Drop goal attempt with men in space... not good from jags
-
Highlanders lineout has been shit. Time to go back to using Dixon at two. Secure your ball and stop throwing long.
-
Punch was thrown surely

Thought i saw one.. from jags but missed the # -
<p>Ben Smith said #11 I think</p>
-
Creevy gone... massive blow
-
Ben Smith was very sure it was number 11. Doesn't he know snitches get stitches.
-
Very scrappy for large parts then some sublime handling and landers in
-
That was bloody amazing. Dixon involved three times, great work from all the forwards. Third try.
-
Jags in.<br><br>
Landers very sloppy. Will need to tighten up a lot for the chiefs next weekend -
<p>I really like the way Ash Dixon is playing. Another player who didn't get a chance up North (Canes) and does well at the Landers. It's a pity that the AB selectors initially went for Coltman and even picked Parsons once & denied Dixon a chance to try for higher honours when there was a spot up for grabs. That chance is gone now, unless the ABs are hit by many injuries at hooker. At least his Maori AB spot looks safe. He fully deserves it.</p>

<p>Although the Highlanders are up by quite a few points and will win this game comfortably, the Jaguares play much better than the Aussie teams that played the other NZ franchises this weekend. If the Jags didn't make so many mistakes and were more disciplined, they could score many more points and make life difficult for the Landers.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A lot has been said already about how disappointing the Jags have been this season. Still, I think they've shown so much more potential than the other newbies, Kings and Sunwolves, that I'm quite sure they'll do much better next year.</p>
