    Pretty happy with that scoreline after playing so shit on attack with occasional good defence.

    @SouthernMann said in Highlanders v Hurricanes - round 5:

    Tangitau is absolute quality. Out of him and Jim. He is the one more likely to be an AB. I stand by my statement when he signed that he is the best winger we have signed since Naholo

    Why one or the other. Pick both.

    @KiwiMurph I think Tavatavanawai is the straight running 12 we seem to want and need but don't pick correctly.

    Thought he did look pedestrian on the kick he took when he Carried back, may have just been that movement

    Good arm wrestle in that first half. Couple little tactical changes at half time around ruck numbers and pod numbers and that should sure up ball retention. No need to rush it from a Landers perspective, keep the pressure on.

    Expecting Canes bench to be on early and provide significant impact so if we can turn them around and have them playing out of their own half it’ll be beneficial considering Canes struggling to clear when inside their 22.

    Play territory, make your tackles and we are a real chance.

    Naholo making every post a winner then noping out of the chase with a flamboyant dive even though he was catching Tangitau is a red flag for higher honours.

    The most pleasing thing with Tangitau is his error way is way down

    In 7s and NPC he had plenty of wow moments but a high error rate

    Have a lineout in the 22, loose it. Concede a try several minutes later. Where have we seen that before

    Nice scrum landers. Big pressure from EDG on Mafileo
