Highlanders vs Hurricanes pre-season

[Stargazer]

Fakatava is speeding up the game. Result: Canes giving away penalties.

Gawd garden Bishop is crap. We really need a decent ten, and to me the best we have is jordie. Capped ABs ten! Anything better than what we have

[Stargazer]

@machpants Yep, he's been awful. Terrible kicking game, slow and can't pass.

[Stargazer]

Braydon Iose is on; not sure for who.
Blackwell off, too.
I've also noticed TBN is on for the Landers.

[Stargazer]

Try to Ngane Punivai. The pace from Fakatava is making a difference. Great pass Ioane.

Amazing what a good nine and ten can do!

[Machpants]

Nisbett had no idea who any of the players are, time to move on old man

[Stargazer]

Messy stuff there, but the result is a try to Rayasi. Looked a bit dodgy there in the middle of the field. If it happened in the last five minutes, definitely something to do a captain's challenge for. Looked like a knock-on from the Canes.

TMO no try

[Stargazer]

@machpants Ha, yes, just happened after I had clicked "submit". Right call, I think.

[Stargazer]

The younger Garden-Bachop has replaced Punivai.

[Stargazer]

Bryn Evans is on.

[Stargazer]

Great run from Alaimalo. His second. Looks promising.

[Machpants]

Canes def have wrong garden bishop

[Stargazer]

Renton is on as well for the Landers.

I think Ruben Love has now come on fro JGB?

Water-break.

[Stargazer]

Highlanders game is very quick now.

Fast pass Fakatava; great running line Josh Ioane. Connor GB dots down for another try.

[Tim]

Canes defence poor the last 10 minutes.

[Stargazer]

Finally a Canes attack, field wide open in front of Toala, and Fifita throws the pass to nowhere, going out.

[Kiwiwomble]

someone is going to have to give me a highlanders XV based on performance

[Stargazer]

@tim I think it's mainly a result of too many, quick changes of players.
