Landers may not win a derby again this year -- Canes our best chance...... think the Chiefs and Saders will be the top and Canes and Blues battling for #3

Hang in there. Plenty of good signs for Landers

Pretty sure the landers front row had 15ish each after 50mins ..... lack of possession does that i guess

KiwiMurph

That is epic level dumb from Nock

Kirwan

Nock is so dumb

Duluth

@Mattasaurus

Yeah you can’t compare with 63% possession

Bones

That was pretty dumb by Nock, especially when you consider how unnecessary it was.

Mattasaurus

225 tackles Vs 83 FFS ..... wow

Kirwan

This Blues side looks very patient, very fit and have a game plan that suits their excellent forwards.

Bones

Ahh cool good for Faleafaga.

Possession is part of that but also the Blues pick and goes rack up the numbers fast

Kirwan

Highlanders much improved over last year, but forwards are vulnerable

ACT Crusader

Even then the Landers 1st receiver was looking for the cross field kick. Why?

Excellent 2nd 40 from the Blues.

Kirwan

Another very entertaining game, good season so far

@KiwiMurph some good aggression in the clean out today.

Highlanders probably good for a couple of upsets this year.

Sweet set move in the first half for the offload try

Totally. If we can sort out our breakdown (need to balance the loose forward trio) we'll keep more ball, concede less penalties and less points.
