Waratahs v Highlanders

[Tim]

@bones Franklin always looks out of his depth for the Maori team. Lousi has much more physical ability.

Well I’ve never seen someone kick a player like that before. Red?

The Highlanders and Counties can invite Tevita Nabura to catch the next slow boat back to Suva for mine. Apply for a job with a street gang or something.

There is no place in the game for a bloke who has a think about it first and then carefully kicks a man in the face. You've got to wonder what sort of debased mindset comes up with that brilliant idea?

He was just trying to impersonate his inner-Jackie Chan

[Bones]

@tim yeah until a couple of weeks ago I would have accepted that, just he's been L Whitelock like in defence the last couple of games, has surprised me with his power and work rate.

[antipodean]

Wow - that was a bit easy for the Clan there.

Lousi has really impressed me. When they announced his signing, I thought they were nuts, but he's proven to be a great find. He won't be in the ABs squad, but I can't imagine he's not on their radar.

[Damo]

They will overrule this.

[Nepia]

The frikkin Highlanders are making Foley look like DC.

[Bones]

Did Phipps just stomp on Frizzell?

When?

[Bones]

@damo it was that ruck where it was really slow to come out as all the waratahs were lying all over it - Phipps couldn't see the ball and looked like he stomped on a highlanders foot/ankle when the ball was over the other side of the ruck.

Edit: Frizzell got straight back up so probably nothing.

I don't think the ABs are going to miss Sopoaga that much. He's been awful.

[Kirwan]

Aussies have discovered how to beat NZ teams; play teams with only 14!

[antipodean]

Big way to break the drought. 50 coming up at this rate.

[Stargazer]

Foley is still shit at kicking.

[Bones]

Oh. So that's not a forward pass but Sopoaga's was.

[Nepia]

Sopoaga kick it you dipshit.

[Canerbry]

Fuck sake Highlanders, this is dreadful. Unless you're planning to contest last week's Best Comeback Ever.

[Bones]

I'm guessing Hammett took the reigns this week.

[Damo]

Oh well. It was a pretty good run while it lasted. I am not too worried about this to be honest. I expected it before the game and then it was inevitable after the red card.

[Bones]

That last play by Naholo about sums it up.
