I must have been too busy faffing over Nareki

[Nepia]

No clear separation by the Highlanders player there.

[taniwharugby]

@nepia was very fast one on 2nd viewing

[Steven Harris]

@tim Darry has got better the longer the game has gone

[Machpants]

Aaron Smith guilty of playing the ref rather than the ball

[Tim]

Ruru's scrappy defence has been good today.

[taniwharugby]

poor ruck work by Highlanders

[Nepia]

Who's the openside now?

[Tim]

@nepia Sotutu?

Hoskins I guess

[Bones]

I take it that's the first time Punivai has ever kicked the ball. Congratulations buddy, you did it!

[Frank]

I think Papalii could be a great future 7.

Can’t say he’s been very good clearing the ball though. Seems laboured and making late decisions. Forward dominance means it doesn’t matter though.

[Tim]

@crucial Yeah, that's the Ruru trade off.

[taniwharugby]

@crucial thats what you get from Ruru though...good scrapper defensively, but offset by his slower work going forward.

Like Perenera

[Crazy Horse]

@kiwimurph I like him and really want him to be a success at centre, but he did nothing more with that draw and pass than I would expect from a 1st 15 centre.
