Not been impressed by Holland, very inaccurate and little impact.

His work rate is excellent but physically each individual moment is limited impact. He's like a gigantic Blackadder

Yeah not a great move to pick and go yourself with no support typically, but especially when all you're doing is diving on the ground 2m away.

the miss on the high tackle ffs that is bullshit

[Steven Harris]

@Tim 💯..thats a high tackle every day of the week

[African Monkey]

Just slightly high from Umaga-Jensen on Tangitau.

[gt12]

Some incredibly shit reffing but still a fucking great game of footy

NZ teams and their reluctance to go for the drop goal.

Well well

Should have done it inside their 22 a few minutes ago. 40 metres out is never easy.

[akan004]

How was that high shot not called?

[KiwiMurph]

Wonderful game.

Comp keeps delivering

@ACT-Crusader Landers 13+

Thanks for the Jinx

[Bones]

Looked to me like the AR called it.

Didn't deserve it anyway, only kept in the game by two canes gimmes.

[canefan]

Aumua just had to throw it in straight. A lucky escape

The high tackle I mean.

[SouthernMann]

That sucked. Good game of rugby though. A lot of should haves...

I thought Canes might have taken 3 instead of gone for the line

[Grooter]

@SouthernMann looking forward to next week, Ajay and Josh Bartlett should definitely stay in the 23

Agreed. He’s actually a bloody good player with ball in hand. Has been injured a lot and has the case of the dropsies but good potential

Landers created plenty of opportunities , some poor options, pushed passes etc.... cost them

Lack of a decent kicker? Made sense, at least we would have forced them under the posts
