Highlanders vs Stormers

[Gunner]

Oh how the fuck did he not score that

[Gunner]

Surely Highlanders ball for knocked back?
Where is the consistency?
One of those rules that change depending where you are on the field?

[Gunner]

Good try,

That was an eye catching run from Thompson at the start of that movement.

[Gunner]

A Smith surely won’t be allowed in the All Blacks with that haircut.

SURELY!

Highlanders kicking game has been very poor tonight. Stormers have outplayed them completely in that area. Just the Stormers have defended so poorly. They could ship 50 at any time.

[nzzp]

Just turned on for the second half.

A Smith's passing is just off the charts. So good. Finds runners, he's hitting people two channels out consistently. It just gives them so much space and stretches the defence. What a player

[Gunner]

This is the kind of game that fresh legs could cause havoc, it’s been played at a hell of a pace, and physical so there’ll be tired bodies out there.

[Gunner]

Oh Naholo....
I dear say they would have come back to check the pass anyway if he’d scored.
Looked forward to me.

@gunner

Backwards from the hands. Fuck Naholo is frustrating.

[gt12]

That one’s forward? Want to see a replay...

Yea yea.... 😏

How about that last one?
Think he got it correct...

[gt12]

@gunner

Right call. Just saw the replay.

[hydro11]

Game should have been put to bed.

[Gunner]

@hydro11 yep and the Landers starting to look frustrated about it too.

[Gunner]

Speaking of forward passes, he missed that one right in front of him. Doesn’t matter though, penalty Highlanders.

[Gunner]

Good first play of the game GPT...
Had them under pressure so was no need for that silly shit.

[Gunner]

BP try?

Yep thanks for confirmation Sumo.

They left it late but they got there.

[gt12]

Really good try to put it beyond reach.

[Gunner]

Pretty comfortable win for the Highlanders really.
Stormers has a tonne of possession and territory but couldn’t do anything with it.

Aaron Smith has started the season in some sort of form.
