Blues v Highlanders

[Duluth]

From the ODT

Dermody said Harmon was well off being considered for selection this week.

The nasty cut on his palm he sustained in Tonga had since got infected, and the star loose forward needed time to come right.

Centre Tanielu Tele’a is named despite failing an HIA test against the Crusaders.

Tele’a got a ‘‘whack to the face’’ and his smart mouthguard sent an alert for him to be checked at halftime, Dermody said.

He failed the initial HIA protocol — involving a memory test — so had to be replaced. But he passed the second stage of the protocol two days later, and again 24 hours after that, so can play this week

Stephen Perofeta, Bryce Heem and Marcel Renata all late withdrawals for the blues.

[SouthernMann]

That $7.50 looking tasty for the Highlanders

[Machpants]

Well done ofa, playing League?

[Damo]

Both teams usual strip is blue. What madness is this that one of the teams is using an alternate strip to avoid a clash.

That is not the Super Rugby way.

[Damo]

Highlanders are on an unprecedented win streak.

[African Monkey]

Good start from the Blues pack.

[African Monkey]

Ooh well worked Landers.

[Machpants]

Beauty try

[Bones]

[Victor Meldrew]

That was so sweet to watch.

[Damo]

Great try. Woohoo.

[taniwharugby]

Well worked, but pass possibly looked forward...

[Tim]

Nice move.

Eye patches affect depth perception perhaps?

[KiwiMurph]

Brilliant work from Holland

TJ wrongly credits Fakatava

[Stockcar86]

TJ's player identification is getting even worse, now mistaking Fakatava for a lock

[Bones]

TJ more blind than Nisbo these days

[taniwharugby]

@Damo yea mate, that's me, a die-hard Blues fan...

[KiwiMurph]

That's lovely by Evans
