Highlanders v Blues

[Kirwan]

Really pleased that the Blues are playing him tight. Previously, they tried to utilise his strength out wide, like they did with Robinson.

This has let him address head on the bullshit written about his work rate. Stats tell the story.

Must win game with a bonus point very helpful for the Blues
Canes maybe gone now

[African Monkey]

@Chris It doesn't really matter tbh as the Crusaders are a bit too far ahead now. Just the win would be nice.

They only have one point less than the Blues? But the fat lady has sung, a song about docking in red and black

If Crusaders win next week, they have won regardless.

Are they too far ahead in bonus points , if ( hypothetically) the blues were to go undefeated from here which would include beating the crusaders last game .

Mate its more Super Rugby than any other year tbh

@Chris Super with a small s, sure. But it isn't Super Rugby, otherwise you'll have to accept joint winners with the Brumbies!

Settle down that’s not even thinkable

[Dice]

The Sky guys talking up Michael Collins' elite communicating ability.

[Kiwiwomble]

I’ve said it before, coltman should start, dynamic when people are fresh...and Dixon is better for that clutch line out throw at the death

[Dice]

Jacob Pierce comes onto the bench for Josh Goodhue.

[KiwiMurph]

Gibson ruled out injuried.

I'm shocked.

[Tim]

@Dice Gibson out too. Lamborn starting and Carroll on the bench.

[Dice]

@Tim Should've brought in Riedlinger-Kapa instead of Carroll.

[Tim]

@Dice Think he played club rugby in Auckland yesterday.
