    Any Bold/hot takes?

    Folau Fakatava to clear at least 2 rucks swiftly without standing back watching for absolutely pristine ball.

    For that to happen our loose forwards would need to consistently hit rucks...

    It's been happening all season...

    Our loose forwards not clearing rucks? Yep.

    No coincidence that we looked the best at the start of the year, before teams cottoned onto the fact we don't commit numbers to the breakdown. It has been better the past couple of weeks, hence Fakatava's overall improvement.

    @frugby Fakatava had probably his worst game for this last week so no idea what you're seeing.

      That's why I said overall improvement... despite the team's form, he was very good v the Canes, Rebels and Reds.

        He had his worst game for clearing the ball but his clearing the ball improved overall? 100%

          Thunderstorms predicted for early afternoon in Nuku’alofa, have a mate over there and he said it’s been pretty bad all week. This could be interesting. As if we needed anything else to impact our handling😅

            Kind of a home game for Fakatava and Ma'u

              Important game for the Highlanders.

              Our path to the final requires victory today.

                Certainly doesn't look like Forsyth Barr!

                  That pitch is going to be a muddy mess by the final whistle

                      Idiocracy.

                      I hope that guy is OK. That did not look flash.

                            Heck of a start from MP and the Highlanders look to be a bit hungover after the rip roaring game last week.

                              reminds me of playing as a kid in swamps, except I bet it's warmer!

                                That scrum PK looked to go the wrong way.

                                  Our scrum struggling yet again… it’s not like our head coach was a former all blacks prop or anything. If we are struggling against the Moana scrum then we are doomed against the crusaders scrum next weekend.

                                      @Landers92 yep, even with how they have been travelling the Crusaders scrum is probably the best in the comp.

                                        Yup. Problem is it doesn’t seem to matter who the ref is, always seem to be getting pinged

                                          Ironically a much better watch than the game under the roof last week
