Yes but I was talking looses ?

[number9]

All of a sudden the bloody touchies have 20/20 vision .

[Kiwiwomble]

To be fair that was at the lineout.

[Nepia]

Sheesh, that penalty was a few metres ahead of where it should have been.

@KiwiMurph it cost them the Canes in Wellington, almost cost them the chiefs game a week ago..when are they going to learn ..many of these infractions are uncalled for which makes it so frustrating

They aren't going to learn this season. Nothing has changed in any game.

[booboo]

2 point game

[Bones]

Sweeeet! Keep on plugging. Forwards starting to go to work...

[Tim]

Just pure lack of accuracy. Put Highlanders right back into it.

I wonder if the coaches have looked at the rucks and done the math (Moneyball style) and it's actually better for them to continue how they're going even if the penalties are going against them? TBH, I'm just grasping for a reason for the lack of change.

[Bones]

Frizzel! Legend.

[booboo]

Duffy looking more like he did a couple of years ago after dip in form last year.

[KiwiMurph]

Unbelievable play by Frizell.

[number9]

Highlanders were bloody offside. Where were the touchies.

[Tim]

No release and no one onside.

[KiwiMurph]

I wouldn't be picking Papalii in my ABs.

He doesn't offer enough at the breakdown.
