Waratahs v Highlanders

[antipodean]

<p>That tight five would scare any opposition. Evens a B&I Lions team.</p>

[pukunui]

Really?

<p>Wheeler is the biggest loss.</p>

<p>I thought Faddes looked the goods last week. Big test for Tongia though. He did score some good tries in the ITM Cup last year, hopefully he can step up. The Tah wingers aren't overly big.</p>

I thought that might be the case but you never know.

<p>Tongia played two Super Rugby games last year (due to Naholo being injured). He scored three tries in those two games. I hope he can do it again!</p>

[NTA]

Can he score all of them in the next game?

[hurricane]

<p>I've got the tahs to win this in a tight tussle.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think they are a good home side (the Warratahs)</p>

Don't have the pigs for it

Hmmm ... add an "r". Testing: Hooperr

Cmon highlanderrrrrrs

[Higgins]

<p>Aussies seem to do moments of silence much better than Kiwis with there being no noise at all in tonight's effort to remember Seru Rabeni (former Highlander) who passed away earlier this week. We can certainly learn something from the way they totally respect the memory in complete silence.</p>

[Glath]

<p>That's one hideous Highlanders jersey.</p>

[Gunner]

God these Aussie commentators are awful to listen to.<br><br>
Highlanders defense looks pretty solid so far.<br><br>
Fucking get in Tongia!!!!!!!
