@SouthernMann Sunday morning flight cancellation meant he couldn't get home for Monday morning? The sooner NZ gets more than 2 airports and some rental car companies, the better. Maybe even branch out and see if we can find some passenger boats to go between the islands....
Air NZ is making it quite difficult due to its regional cuts. I've got a trip down for a game later in the year. The options to get home from Dunedin on the Sunday were either a 10 AM flight, or a 4 PM two flight journey via Christchurch. Doesn't make it very appealing to just pop down for the weekend. Choose between a hungover shuttle ride and early flight. Or a 9 PM arrival home and a shit layover at Chch Airport.
You are bang on about the rest of the infrastructure. A bit stuffed.

@frugby I think it was pretty fair to put the boot away a bit last week against the canes, why would you continually kick it to the likes of Love and Naholo?
I agree with you to a point though, this week is a different story against the Reds, I wouldn’t consider them as sharp on the counter, still a dangerous side though. Use Hasties boot and take some pressure off Taine. With Jim chasing down the sideline this week, expect a fair bit of that with the idea him beinh the first arriving player over the ball/counter rucking.

I think you'd back Hastie's boot to kick it long enough, and for us to defend well enough to take it out the equation. Could have also tested Naholo under the high ball against Tangitau.

good start boys!

well taken try, however we need to be better than that ----

Two poor reads from Hurley so far.

Highlanders look well off the pace atm.

Landers started strong, but look rattled at the moment. Need to get the dominance back in the contacts

Bit puzzled why there was no replay of the Tangitau near try. Did it bounce out?

Landed on the touchline I think and bounced back in.
