Blues v Highlanders

[Bones]

Holland stands up for a confrontation and Akira couldn't give a shit, had already walked off

[Tim]

Good tackle there. More like it. Time for patience and backing their defence.

[KiwiMurph]

Nock kicks it straight into the 2.04m tall Holland....

[Tim]

Nock wake up when kicking ...

[SouthernMann]

Shit that was an easy Blues try

[Bones]

Oh piss off Williams. You can't penalise Fakatava if you're going to ignore Darry

[KiwiMurph]

That looked harsh on Papalii

[Bones]

That's why Fakatava has work to do before getting back in black

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph yes

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent maul work McWhannell

[KiwiMurph]

Plummer isn't an emergency 9 option....

[Bones]

Brave for Fakatava to attempt a tackle

[Tim]

Ioane the Blues' best in the first half.

Highlanders young players going well.

[African Monkey]

Darry had a poor half. Akira and Clarke were very impressive, as was Choat and, Evans and Forbes.

Impressed with the Highlanders toughness so far

[SouthernMann]

Eight points. We are in this. Just need to halt the mauls and Blues pick and goes.

That's kind of our thing though.

[Gunner]

Plenty of good rugby in that half from the Blues, but each piece of good rugby is promptly followed by a pile of slop unfortunately.

Highlanders really giving it to them, getting stuck in physically which is great to see.

Enjoying this game.

Darry had a poor half.

His physicality is better but you wonder if he is ever going to shake his error rate

Yeah and you are bloody good at it

[Bones]

Oh come on Fakatava. That's stupid
