@Bones haha fuck I only do it to wind you Landers fans up tbh he's been okay recently

Proctor?

[Duluth]

Commentators talking up Whetton. Of course Whetton has looked better this year. He barely got on the field for the Highlanders last year

He’s been very important in the NPC for Auckland for a couple of seasons.
Powerful player in the tight, gets caught out a bit on defence when the game gets loose

Florence on too, Hunt off?

Fakatava looks like he has a fungus growing on the back of his head

Not hunt so must be frizzel off

[ACT Crusader]

@Duluth you do realise these commentators don’t really know anything about rugby

[Kiwiwomble]

Commentators have been rubbish calling the subs, ioane off too

[Dice]

Tomkinson has no attacking awareness. Not much skill either.

[Bones]

So @Kiwiwomble how do you feel about your positivity before the match talking about the Highlanders having nothing left after the crusaders? Who was the negative nelly saying it was hopefully a turning point?

[Stargazer]

@Kiwiwomble Frizell is still on the field. Probably for MMT.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Bones I actually said I wasn’t sure if we’d have nothing left of if we’d take some inspiration from it...seems it’s the later

[ACT Crusader]

Shelby-Rickit has a bit of edge to his game. Like his work rate and aggression.

[Stargazer]

Geez, Rakete-Stones almost decapitated.

I hope someone shaves his head before the NPC season.

[Kiwiwomble]

@Nepia nuggie use to do all the guys haircuts...wonder if that’s his handy work

[Stargazer]

Deserved win for the Highlanders!

Obviously, I'm biased, but IMO Dixon and MMT outplayed All Blacks Coles and A Savea. Hope both get a chance in the NvS game.

[antipodean]

Entertaining game. Nice result for Dixon and Smith.

[Yeetyaah]

What's Fakatava's contact situation? Nuggie is still playing at his best so most likely be stuck behind him still. Chiefs could use another halfback as long as Weber is fucked off.

A Savea

Yeah maybe a little bit of bias on that one. Savea was huge. Without him and Jordie the canes would've been dead in the water.

[Stargazer]

And that's the end of Super Rugby Aotearoa.

I'm a bit sad it's over. It was a great competition with absolutely awesome blockbusters.

Hopefully, CV19 allows us to have an equally awesome Mitre 10 Cup.
