Bulls v Highlanders

Surprised they didn't hook Lomax earlier. He was being dominated by his opposite at scrum time for most of the game and doesn't look to be Super Rugby quality just yet. Really don't see what all the hype about him was about.
Sopoaga played well apart from kicking the ball away with 3 minutes to go when his team was 2 points behind.
Pollard was outstanding. Controlled that game beautifully and was easily the best player on the field. He's definitely world class.

Jackson is a fucken cheat

@sidbarret wow, no talk even
Bit surprised their hasn't been comment on Hometown Jacko giving the penalty try.
Looked yellow and penalty for sure, but "probable try"? He still had to off load to a supporting player with two defenders there from memory. Always a dubious call so can see why there aren't any complaints but I wouldn't have given it.
Oh, and Sid, the problem with Jackson is that he really isn't very good.

@taniwharugby have been keeping an eye on Darmacena at the Rebels,I wonder if we have missed a trick after watching Fletcher Smith

@bovidae word is, he came up, spent some time looking at facilities, spoke with coaches, players etc...was ready to sign on dotted line but heard Dale MacLeod (who had got him up here) was being pushed out the door, he chose not to...
So him alongside Solomon Alaimalo (who MacLeod got up here) Northland lost due to them pushing MacLeod out...which given all the good I had heard he was doing devlopment-wise and getting our players in front of Super coaches and from anyone who dealt with Macleod, sounded like a big mistake letting him go.
