Highlanders vs Hurricanes pre-season

Duluth

Only half watching.. I haven’t seen much of him. Most of the kicks have gone towards Nareki

@duluth why arent the Canes wearing their new away jersey or even their home jersey

Machpants

Jodie looks sharp, new nine looks like treacle, fat Bishop out of his depth

Stargazer

@kiwiwomble I wonder why the Canes are wearing last year's away jerseys again, and not the new white ones?

Machpants

@stargazer same as last week, I guess they haven't received them yet

Kiwiwomble

@kiwiwomble I wonder why the Canes are wearing last year's away jerseys again, and not the new white ones?

might also explain the numbers thing if they only have the ones left form last year

Stargazer

Not sure what Nisbo is on about. The Highlanders used their captain's challenge; not the Crusaders.

Kiwiwomble

text feed make it sound like we're holding on by the skin of our teeth

Stargazer

@kiwiwomble No, the Hurricanes just have more possession. Highlanders defending well.

Stargazer

Jordie gets yellow, but apparently allowed to be replaced in a preseason game. Did I understand that correctly?

Kiwiwomble

@stargazer what for? head butt sio on the shoulder?

Stargazer

Awesome work from MMT; Frizell scores the try.

Stargazer

@kiwiwomble Slowing things down (I think). Ref called it cynical.

Stargazer

A pity there was obstruction, otherwise Flanders almost certainly would have scored.

Stargazer

Landers looking stronger, now they've got a bit of possession.

Stargazer

Intercept JGB, but he's too slow and throws it straight to a Highlander.

Kiwiwomble

dixon struggling with the lineouts by the looks of it, normally one of his strengths

Stargazer

@kiwiwomble Only the last few. In the beginning they were on target.

Nisbo in mid-season form.

Stargazer

Fetuli Paea injured?
