        Papalii, Savea and Ethan Blackadder as the extremely high energy AB back row.

        Playing three seven-like players would be a big mistake at Test level, we aren’t Australia.

                You can't get into an open field game with the Blues.

                Hunt will continue to be a handbrake for the Highlanders.

                Kicking directly to Telea was an interesting tactic, he hasn’t had a problem with kicks for a few years now.

                      @Kirwan can see why Telea and Stevenson together at the back for Harbour were always a threat

                          Fuck that was horrible…forgot how gutting rugby can be…had foolishly actually got my hopes up a little

                          Hunt just seems lost…we seem completely incapable of getting our 11,14,15 into any space…it’s like they’re only there for defence and they’re not good at that

                          Only enjoyable moments were those scrums…don’t know why we opted to kick for touch when we were doing so well

                          Ppp leading that counter drive was awesome…want to see more of that

                          STOP FUCKING THROWING 50/50 BALLS!!! We’re not the fucking Harlem globe trotters…if we’re lucky enough to make a small break or pull off an offload…go to fucking ground!

                          And why the hell were we throwing it around trying to score again at the end…someone getting bloody injured was a hell of a lot more likely that scoring

                                      Just watched. Mark Telea fantastic.
                                      Thought Highlanders were combative in forwards though. But could not understand Honey Hireme praising Fakatava. His execution was shoddy all game. Just not hitting his runners and aimless kicking plus some missed tackles. He will improve as he is better than that but Aaron Smith was sorely missed. I thought Hunt did well under lots of pressure but Frizzell was their clear standout.
                                      Christie Beaudie Rieko and Telea were just way too good for Landers backs.

                                          Fuck that was horrible…forgot how gutting rugby can be…had foolishly actually got my hopes up a little

                                          Hunt just seems lost…we seem completely incapable of getting our 11,14,15 into any space…it’s like they’re only there for defence and they’re not good at that

                                          Only enjoyable moments were those scrums…don’t know why we opted to kick for touch when we were doing so well

                                          Ppp leading that counter drive was awesome…want to see more of that

                                          STOP FUCKING THROWING 50/50 BALLS!!! We’re not the fucking Harlem globe trotters…if we’re lucky enough to make a small break or pull off an offload…go to fucking ground!

                                          And why the hell were we throwing it around trying to score again at the end…someone getting bloody injured was a hell of a lot more likely that scoring

                                          For charity, $500 per point was going towards cyclone recovery. Both teams were trying to keep it going for a final try
