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

@KiwiMurph absolutely..they actually owned the Chiefs in the 2nd half..
-
What a weekend of NZ rugby. 2 point games in both. Last minute finishes.
Also the Crusaders won against the Bye.

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.
-
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!!
@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.

We have a house full of people for.my son's birthday party.
I just let out a loud "FUCK!!!!" and walked off
Great comeback Highlanders. And another good game (even with heaps of mauls)

One guy I was really impressed with was Parkinson.
He is starting to play to his potential.

I like three of our four locks

The big change was Thompson, midfield calmed down and just made some space for the outsides
I like rob but think he needs a break
Gregory exercised some demons
McKay was good, that’s the kind of play I’ve always liked about him and glad we got to see a bit of it
None our those guys could have done what they did without smith, d Hunt, frizzel and MMT

Yeah to be honest I think that part of his game shades... well any other kiwi ten probably. Doesn't have the short passing game of some of the others but just gives so much time and space to the wide outs.

I feel like an alien has invaded his body. Completely different player from the previous few years.

Imagine the expletives coming out of Neil Barnes this week.

I think he might just be a bit burnt out, he’s one of the seniors and one of the few constants in the back line this season, think he’s been trying to do too much
