Blues v Highlanders

[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

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent from Evans

[SouthernMann]

That hit on Millar should have been looked at

[Gunner]

Nice build up, nice try

[KiwiMurph]

Good skills

[Tim]

Eklund's best game for a while.

[Bones]

Christ why wouldn't you give that, Bogado

Jeez Te Hiwi leaves me scratching my head so often. That floating pass out of half back killed any chance of a counter attack from swinging it back to the other side of the field. So many options and he floats a rainbow hospital ball to Stodart……. I give him the benefit of the doubt because he’s young but man, this is super rugby.
