Blues v Highlanders

Could ( should?) have been worse.
Landers showing quite a lot when they're not making elementary errors. Far better than I thought they'd be given the personnel.
8 and 6 continue to impress. Ioane back soon please.
Gave the ladder leaders a real fright and a glance of the recent past malaise after halftime, then that northlander dropped his 30th and last high ball and the momentum shifted, again.
Good game, saw some good loosies from both teams.
Fair dues blues - a draw may have spun an accurate narrative, or if a pro footballer could kick one from in front🤨

I'm still shaking after that haha man that was an intense game! Well done Highlanders, proving everybody wrong as usual and showing how tough they are.

Struggling to think what Parsons adds?

Not sure why they play Gregory at the back, hes versatile but he struggled at the back in NPC, looks much more assured and dangerous at 12.

@Jailbreak7 Didn't have a good game tonight. Still can throw well though.

Accurate lineout throwing, generally soudn defense, reasonable scrummager. Low mistakes when not overplaying his hand offensively

Almost saw him without headgear on tonight but Sky cut away...

Why is BB attempting drop goals under penalty advantage? Wouldn't they be better off going for the try.
He wouldn’t be doing it if he was at 10. When he’s at fullback he’s already deep to receive it.

It only ever makes sense if the penalty is won from a tough spot to kick from and you want a 2-for-1 freebie. Otherwise, I agree it's a total waste.

Good to see Carter talking through some game with Barrett.
Clarke looks about 17yo

@Bones I’ll say. He’s clearly emotional, but the interviewer wants to keep asking questions???

He gathered himself extremely well.

Even if we all know he's going to be quite emotional tonight, it's better if the interviewer lets him bring that up himself. Rather than the first question being "So your granddad died today..."

Blues players bleaching their hair isn't helping the commentators. Noticed several times how they confused Rieko, Sotutu and even Akira (whose hair is pink).
To be fair TJ started off with saying that Black kicked off when Hunt did. I would have thought the fact that Barrett caught the ball might have been a big hint.
