[Damo]

Highlanders taking the points on offer was key last week.

Darry with another bad penalty

It blows my mind how many avoidable penalties players give away in rugby

It's so Strange

[Bones]

Holland stands up for a confrontation and Akira couldn't give a shit, had already walked off

[Tim]

Good tackle there. More like it. Time for patience and backing their defence.

[KiwiMurph]

Nock kicks it straight into the 2.04m tall Holland....

[Tim]

Nock wake up when kicking ...

[SouthernMann]

Shit that was an easy Blues try

[Bones]

Oh piss off Williams. You can't penalise Fakatava if you're going to ignore Darry

[KiwiMurph]

That looked harsh on Papalii

[Bones]

That's why Fakatava has work to do before getting back in black

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph yes

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent maul work McWhannell

[KiwiMurph]

Plummer isn't an emergency 9 option....

[Bones]

Brave for Fakatava to attempt a tackle

[Tim]

Ioane the Blues' best in the first half.

Highlanders young players going well.

[African Monkey]

Darry had a poor half. Akira and Clarke were very impressive, as was Choat and, Evans and Forbes.

Impressed with the Highlanders toughness so far

[SouthernMann]

Eight points. We are in this. Just need to halt the mauls and Blues pick and goes.

That's kind of our thing though.

[Gunner]

Plenty of good rugby in that half from the Blues, but each piece of good rugby is promptly followed by a pile of slop unfortunately.

Highlanders really giving it to them, getting stuck in physically which is great to see.

Enjoying this game.

His physicality is better but you wonder if he is ever going to shake his error rate
