The big change was Thompson, midfield calmed down and just made some space for the outsides
I like rob but think he needs a break
I feel like an alien has invaded his body. Completely different player from the previous few years.
I think he might just be a bit burnt out, he’s one of the seniors and one of the few constants in the back line this season, think he’s been trying to do too much

He started the season in the same form. If he's burnt out before he even plays then he needs to change something drastically.

thought you could only go back 2 rucks at most to look for infringements. there was clear 3 rucks.
Well not sure you can have a ruck if it's from an offside play...😬
-
@Bones that’s fair, I’d be happy for collins to swap in for a bit

So, turned out to be a good game to have missed then...
We were hammering them.
And then we lost.

Cane asked that I think, said it was “all one long play” or words to that effect , not sure now

@Kiwiwomble pity one long phase isnt in the rule book.

Not arguing, just what I thought I heard the ref say and I don’t know the letter of the law with that stuff

Off today's showing, definitely. His decision making and execution was sublime once he had less time....
Going off selection so far though I'm inclined to think we'll see McKay to 12 and Tomkinson shuffled out one.

I could see that, I like what McKay did with space though

Prexactly. He must be stopped.

Alright fuck I've chilled out a bit. So here my 2 cents.
Good:
Slater was incredible, needs to be starting every game.
Cane was great, apart from his card.
Mckenzie was good, didn't do anything overly stupid.
ALB looked great even at 13.Bad:
All of the replacement forwards.
Warren Gatland.Extra:
Aaron Smith was incredible.
The McKenzie try should have been allowed.Extremely disappointed in the Chiefs for losing that as it looked great, but hats off to the Highlanders for playing with that much heart.
-
@Yeetyaah You just mean it should have been allowed because they shouldn’t have looked back that far ?
