Highlanders v Brumbies
-
What part of this is confusing to Pocock? You've used all your substitutions and now another player has had to leave the field, so you're down to 14.

So I'm guessing after seeing that, it doesn't matter what side you come from.
Straight in from the side.

Highlanders Name Team For Match Against The Brumbies
Pulse Energy Highlanders Head Coach, Aaron Mauger, has named a largely unchanged side to play the Brumbies under the roof on Saturday. Liam Coltman returns from injury and Tom Franklin is reinstated to the middle row allowing Alex Ainley into the starting 23 for the first time this season. Shannon Frizell is rewarded with his first start in the number 6 jersey after a number of eye-catching performances off the bench. In the backs, Teihorangi Walden returns to the midfield to partner with Rob Thompson and Matt Faddes returns to the bench. “Fair to say we have a good perspective of where we are at the moment as a team and over the last few weeks, we have taken some good learnings from our matches. The guys have come back fresh from the break and have trained well. Our training focus this week has been on using those recent learnings to solve a few issues that will allow us to perform come the weekend”, said Mauger. -
Yeah he's very clever, his hands are going in before his feet are at the gate. But his feet are in the right position a second later so he's getting away with it. Class, clever player (apart from figuring subs) working to the limit of the ref's interpretations.

Everyone knows it but these clowns with the whistle.

I'm not complaining about the player. I'm complaining the refs are poor.

How good has Hammington been?
His vision was excellent. Nice speed to the breakdown and good delivery.
Brumbies were rudderless in attack. Their 9/10 combination are inexperienced and pretty lacklustre.
