Highlanders vs Hurricanes pre-season

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.

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.

Stargazer

Highlanders line-out, not sure who caught the ball, but Lentjes in for another try.

Machpants

Line out into very quick maul try, 28-12 Ioane great conversion

Stargazer

Highlanders lead 28 to 12.

Stargazer

Leger is on; not sure who he has replaced. Love is playing at fullback.

Stargazer

Roigard has replaced Campbell. Visinia is on as well.

Tim

@stargazer Love looks handy.

Machpants

Another line-out maul into try, landers all over canes

Higgins

Fidow and Numia off; Mafileo and Lomax on.

That should strengthen the scrum enormously.

Stargazer

@tim Haven't noticed him much, apart from one good tackle.

Tim

Only watched the second half, but Alaimalo is one of the best out there.

@stargazer chuck Love the 10 jersey. He can’t be any worse than JGB even at the tender age of 19.

Machpants

@canes4life I still think jordie
