Southland v Waikato

[ARHS]

@Bovidae Is there any update around Johnstone. Thought he was a consideration for the extra 11 AB's, but still unaware of what happened to him after coming on in North v South.

Tupaea has been a real mixed bag this year. Does some very good things and some reckless/clumsy things. Hope he regains his full confidence. Also hoping to see Lansdown back at his best in time

He went off for an HIA test so I can only assume he had concussion symptoms. But that was a while ago now.

Loving the stags revival this year. Hope they can get up again. Up the Stags!

[Yeetyaah]

Great to see Messam back. Weird that Tupaea isn't playing.

[Higgins]

@Yeetyaah Who's older, Thomson or Messam?

[African Monkey]

Looks a beaut of a day in the deep south.

[Yeetyaah]

@Higgins Thomson is 38 and Messam is 36

Old enough is good enough.

[African Monkey]

@Yeetyaah Just babies compared to Jason Rutledge.

[Yeetyaah]

Shit I'm a bit excited to see Messam back

[Yeetyaah]

Hahaha was that penalty for the 9 mouthing off?

[African Monkey]

A bit dumb there from Waikato not going to the lineout when they've had success there so far.

[Yeetyaah]

Te Whare-Crosby should have been able to take that easily.

[Yeetyaah]

This ref doesn't take any lip from the players eh

[Yeetyaah]

Both teams making mistakes in silly areas of the field. Annoying to watch

[African Monkey]

@Yeetyaah Waikato guilty of trying to go too wide too early.

[Yeetyaah]

Waikato midfield offside too much already.

[African Monkey]

I think both teams need to put boot to ball a bit more in these conditions. It's the type fo weather where you don't really want to be playing with the ball unless you're hot on attack.

[Yeetyaah]

Christ these handling errors are annoying.

[African Monkey]

@Yeetyaah Yeah the weather's atrocious. Kicking and playing more one off the ruck should be the name of the game for both sides.

Your idol Messam's on haha.
