Waratahs v Highlanders

[Kirwan]

Big drop in smarts when Smith went off. He was single handedly keeping them in front.

[KiwiMurph]

So Hunt kicks the restart to the best player in the air on the Tahs.

LOL

[antipodean]

Tahs should be embarrassed at that display.

Hunt and Paea should look for jobs elsewhere.

[Canes4life]

Yeah well that wasn’t pretty.

[Jailbreak7]

Sounds like Landers threw that away, and Hunt was a big part of that.

[NTA]

Fuck a duck...

I'm going to a junket at the SFS in two weeks courtesy of my position on the Suburban Rugby Board. Food and drink laid on. Comfy seats and get to cheer the players as they run out of the tunnel.

I'm having second thoughts...

Landers bench has added fuck all

I think our “stacked” bench was talked up
Too much, it still lots of players either coming back from injury or ones that had started all the losses previously

We’ll announce them as captains and vice captain next week

Yuk. Subbing Smith really cost Highlanders. PPP is a contender for dumbest player in super rugby. Give a ref two chances to yellow card you with the game on the line... Real clever.

Waratahs made it hard for themselves. Thought they were in before the desperation tackle from Hunt saved it.

Great to have Nareki back. Feel sorry for Aaron Smith who kept the Highlanders in box seat while he was on.

You don't like free food and drink? I thought you were a prop?

I guess I could leave after the food

[KiwiMurph]

I feel sorry for Fakatava cos he doesn't get regular game time but I don't know how you can justify picking him in the RWC squad.

Two games in a row he has been yellow-carded for a cynical penalty defending a maul.

[antipodean]

As heart-breaking as that may be for Highlander supporters, that was an important win for the Tahs. Losing to what is easily the worst SR team in NZ this season would be a catastrophe in this competition.

[Stargazer]

Parkinson gets an appointment with the judiciary. This was his third yellow card. He also got one in round 2 v Crusaders.

[Crucial]

I just watched a cripple fight and now the Stan team are talking up the Tahs like they are in a chance to win the comp

[SouthernMann]

This is up there with the end of Carisbrook era Highlanders, interms of being one of the worst squads put together. A rebuild will be a long process.

Yep serial offender

[SBW1]

Where does this put the Landers in regards to a push to the finals?

[Stargazer]

@SBW1 The Highlanders are still in finals contention. It's very congested on the table for the last 3 finals' spots. All of Waratahs, Reds, Highlanders, Force and Drua can still qualify. Basically, only Moana Pasifika has no hope of progressing to the finals.
