Good god that is so weak.

No decision made other than to stand and let the attack run at them. Dreadful.

Man that would have been a cracker

[Crazy Horse]

Jeez that was nice work from Proctor to find Rayasi and stay available

2nd v 6th on the table, but miles apart in class.

[Tim]

Highlanders backs hopeless without Tele'a.

Table shows that, blues/canes/brumbies then chiefs/reds/ then the rest

TBF, they went fine without him last week. It is more that our other midfield options, particularly at centre are just way too slow with everything they do.

Bullshit TJ, you know what happened.

I know and I wouldn't want him to air the dirty laundry. He still told a fib though.

Sullivan and 22 a big big step down

I laughed at the way Hurley was thrown out of the ruck just then.

Faleafaga had a bit of a mare... his kicking game leaves a lot to be desired. I'm not convinced that at this stage of his career, he is a better player than Millar who does the basics far better. Should trust his running game, because that is his strength.

He offers front foot ball and more gain line ball than anyone else in the backline. Definitely feel the effects when he’s not playing that’s for sure

[sparky]

That was fun. The Hurricanes have a great shot at winning the title this year.

Yeah wasn’t his best performance but a game you sort of half expect. Huge ask going up there with a lot the other of the main players not on the field surrounding him. He did struggle but you can tell those are issues he can grow from and improve on. Heck of a talent. I remember Lima’s first couple seasons and he looked a lot worse than Falefaga has so I still hold out hope for him.

Agree with you on the Millar part about him getting the basics done better. I would probably say Millars organization is ahead of Faleafagas too but that’s all about time in the saddle.
