Highlanders v Sharks

[Yeetyaah]

@Stargazer Smith's thrown a few shit passes.

[Jailbreak7]

Bloody Landers need to wake the fuck up and get a bloody grip!

[Stargazer]

@Yeetyaah A few, but also some really good ones, only for others to butcher the few chances he created.

[Yeetyaah]

I can see why Fainga'anuku hasn't been offered a full time contract. Dude just runs into 3 defenders and gets turned over.

[broughie]

I think the saffas have figured out NZ rugby. Their backs are bigger and stronger than us and they are jumping on our mistakes and anticipating shit we use to get away with. Hmm.

@gt12 He was fucking awful in the NPC last year.

Well, he was no David Havili, but he was the top try scorer in the competition.

Didnt think he was very impressive for Ta$man given the Rolls Royce team around him

[Tim]

@Yeetyaah They should've signed AJ Lam.

Maybe wait until they have played the Chiefs and Crusaders? That conclusion seems a bit premature.

Perhaps NZ needs a steroid problem at high school too...

[broughie]

@Stargazer Might be wrong but I reckon the needle is moving in their direction.

McKay? Really?

[Chris B.]

@Stargazer Yep - but, now I've had to double check...

@broughie I don't think it's just the Saffas. The BILs showed the way and we have yet to work out a solution.

[98blueandgold]

@Stargazer super rugby title! As a highlanders fan never thought it wld come after 99. For us that’s a golden age

[antipodean]

Again, tackler in the way. Highlanders not responding adequately.

[gt12]

@Crazy-Horse

Play less rugby.

Good example there with the high ball and chase and penalty.

[Tim]

McKay has the mistakes of Collins without the counter attacking.

[Stargazer]

Typical Sharks rugby: scoring most of their points from penalties. NZ teams: watch and learn! Discipline in your own half.

[antipodean]

Thompson having a game to forget.
