This may have been mentioned but I don't think the Highlanders managed a try from their lineout drive in all of SRA, but tonight they get three.
For most of the season yeah, think we got a couple late in the season

There's a lot of talk about how hard it is for the reds to come back from their winning final, so obviously the ponies are going to smash the crusaders
Yeah it's seemed a bit weird how the chiefs and saders have been ignored in that regard.
I've thought that as well... but then remembered that they're both famous for their tee-total celebrations/commiserations.

Really? I didn’t know that

Weber keeps everyone in line.

I was meaning the traditional mauling try to the hooker not the set moves from the lineout drives. I just remember the commentators always saying the Highlanders were getting nothing from kicking into the corners. Either way, it was very different from SRA.

Sam Gilbert given man of the match, thought Gregory hunt and smith probably better just in the backs
Solid, don’t get me wrong

Just watching on delay - just up to the last quarter.
I liked the bit where the Clan had 4 forward passes in the first half that weren't called but the Reds had one because it was a try decision.
Well the reds shouldn't forward pass it then, they're not allowed.

Yeah, comparing Harmon and Himeno to Gilbert, it's a no brainer!

@nta yeah, but, you inevitably cop those calls against Kiwi teams. Gotta be good enough to overcome them.
Reds were fucking horrid. Looking back it was pretty clearly a second string side, if they turn in a similar performance next week ill be genuinely bummed. They seemed better than that (against lesser op).
Thomas, Hegarty etc need to go back to club rugby.
