Highlanders v Sharks

[KiwiMurph]

Hames is a bit one eyed in commentary. Open the other eye pal.

[Yeetyaah]

Game over.

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck me what an offload

[Stargazer]

Great flick pass from TBN, to keep the ball in, and great try Collins.

Conversion attempt charged down.

[Dolamite]

Mitch Hunt goal kicking technique has to change

[Stargazer]

Has TBN replaced Nareki? I already wondered why he had 23 on his back.

Edit: more importantly, are they converting him into a back, or is this a one-off?

[KiwiMurph]

Fassi is classy

[Yeetyaah]

So much for jet-lag, that's a hiding.

[Dolamite]

Who’s the other commentator? He keeps telling us how good Rob Thompson is everytime he makes a mistake lol

[Yeetyaah]

@Dolamite Kane Hames

@Dolamite Think it's the retard hick Hames. Get that moron off my TV.

Plenty of endeavour by the Highlanders, but lacking a bit of accuracy.

In the end they've been burned by a poor 15 minutes in the first half where they leaked tries - and another soft try in the second half (and yet another while I'm typing).

Sharks backs with a bit more size and speed - and more clinical when given their chances.

Highlanders lineout pretty poor. Tactic of trying to go around the rush defence - by going wide - hasn't worked.

Back to the drawing board.

Turns out it's the Sharks with the can of whoop ass!

He's from the soccer blind commentary team. Thompson was dreadful.

When's the last time the Highlanders looked this bad at home? They're normally quite good at home.

Ioane needs to go to first five Hunt is a bench player not a starting First five
Tu’u and the front row were good plus Smith, Nareki was hot and cold
Long season for the Landers a lot of players picked up look like left overs no one wanted

[Steven Harris]

Some great signs for South African rugby, so much size in the forwards which is nothing new, but the flair that is coming through especially in the outside backs is amazing ..I thought the Highlanders forward pack was systematically bullied off the paddock ...
Every Highlanders player seemed to be man handled like it was men playing boys ..
Very convincing win to the Sharks in the end, I thought the final score actually flattered the Highlanders ..
Could be the Sharks year ..!

@Steven-Harris yeah across the board the Sharks players just seemed bigger and more robust in the exchanges.

So Landers did the right thing in that 2nd half to speed the game up. Looked good, but then a couple of times when they had to score they coughed it up.
