Chiefs v Highlanders

Aaron Smith just wow, on another level.

Frizzel has had a mammoth of a game too.

With Hunt you can never be sure of conversion

Aaron Smith’s brilliance has been on full display.

Aaron Smith take a fucking bow!

ACT Crusader

What a game.

Yeetyaah

Congrats Landers. Great comeback.

Holy crap, that's amazing. What a comeback.

Frizzell eh - a bit about him. Those selectors knew a thing or two.

but Smith. Ermagerd. What a player.

This was always going to happen once you saw the landers subs versus ours. Useless (Takeaho), and too old (Thomson, Geldenhys).

@Yeetyaah Gats super unlucky. Could have two on teh board against the Highlanders. Chiefs played really well for a bit, so tough

Win or loose we have been involved in some of the best games this season! We’re entertaining if nothing else

Steven Harris

@KiwiMurph absolutely..they actually owned the Chiefs in the 2nd half..

ACT Crusader

What a weekend of NZ rugby. 2 point games in both. Last minute finishes.

Also the Crusaders won against the Bye.

A bunch of coaches who should be fired right there. Why bother picking a bench if that’s who you are going to put on it?

Bones

How good to see Ioane back. How much more comfortable does Hunt look at fullback at this level?

I can't mention Frizzel enough as well eh, the lineout take and the way he led that maul, see all the cleanup work he was doing?

Coltman threw it in!!

Are you saying the comp is more exciting without the saders?

@Kiwiwomble Love the Highlanders heart. They were seen as the whipping boys but showed that they should never ever be written off.

ACT Crusader

@Bones Ioane’s passing is test level class. It’s quick, he can pass long both ways. It asks questions of the defence.

Fantastic game, well done Highlanders.

KiwiMurph

One guy I was really impressed with was Parkinson.

He is starting to play to his potential.

Chiefs were perfection the first 20. But 2nd half, fark. Chiefs reserves not up to scratch, stupid mistakes. Coaching box was not a happy place.

Highlanders played well, especially Smith. Could have been messy at 24-0, but they never gave up.
