Highlanders v Drua

[Mattasaurus]

If lowe didn't get it down it should be PT from the scrum to begin with... 3 in a row...

[Grooter]

Aaron's best game since the Wales Test

[broughie]

So why did the Highlanders decide to wake up?

[SouthernMann]

A confidence builder. Nothing more.

also good to get some game time and build some combos with some of the younger ones

[Grooter]

Bogado new cult hero for sure

[Mattasaurus]

Gilbert MOTM ... best game I have seen him put together

[Stargazer]

It may not have prevented the try, but that tackle from Fakatava was excellent.

[Mattasaurus]

Millar has young man gas

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck that was beautiful

[Grooter]

Incredibly proud of the team today, a guy like Broughton has really shined

[Stargazer]

Lowe has played a role in quite a few tries, in addition scoring himself.

[Mattasaurus]

Marshall shut up ... its called wreckless play... he was no where near the ball ffs

[Stargazer]

There's no way the Drua player had a chance to catch that ball. It doesn't matter whether he had his eyes on the ball, or not.

[Winger]

FT 57-24 Highlanders

[Dan54]

That was pretty impressive by the Clan, not telling anyone who the fool was who had Drua picked to win, then when I saw the Clan's injury, I thought, yep I have picked right team!

Wahy do I bloody know?

[Duluth]

[SouthernMann]

Shit, Sam Gilbert was tidy in the midfield

@antipodean oh I know he has them all, but for the past couple of years in black he has been far too predictable, although showed a glimmer of his running game again on the EOYT.

I am a broken record I know, but the current AB environment hasn't enhanced many players' reputations.

DeGroot has a huge impact in the collisions and his set piece is very good for a still, very young prop. He is a bit "clunky" on his feet with the pace and speed of SR though. It seems he suits test rugby better than he suits super rugby, especially in games like this. I kind of think he'd really shine in the knockout stages and definitely in the SF and final although he won't get to show that this year with the Clan of course.
Just writing some internal thoughts, tis all.
