Apparently garden-bashop got the highlanders man of the match, only really saw his try which although he should some wheels was really set up by nareki, good otherwise?
I reckon he played well. Tried to get involved a bit more than Nareki and I saw a couple of good brave defensive efforts. Can't really think who else deserved it more. Certainly not the tight five, maybe one of the loosies or Smith?
-
@kiwiwomble I thought the Highlanders would go with Collins at centre. It worked last year.
And Ioane at 10 and Hunt at 15 worked last year too. I'm not sure why Brown has changed things up.

@kiwiwomble and I don't rate any of the other Highlander midfielders...
Once again...guess we can sleep at night knowing these mysteries have been solved...maybe the highlanders just forfeit the rest of the season?

But you don’t rate Collins so it probably doesn’t matter who we choose
-
Interesting , these at least two but maybe as many as four or five from that team would wouldn’t be out of place in the first team
-
@kiwiwomble I rate him higher than the other centre options.
That Bravehearts midfield is probably what they should try at some point.
-
@dice so do I, but until the last five minutes I was very much a lone voice on the forum in that regard so excuse me if these revelations seems a bit funny
I assume browny is on here looking for suggestions so finger crossed
-
@kiwiwomble I hope so or he'll be fired soon too.

Fuck you rugbypass.
The stream is working really well via a browser app on the telly.
You serious? Watched on Mac, and picture was as if they were in a studio!
Yeah I was pleasantly surprised! Found the telly had a browser app, logged into liverugby on there and maximised, hey presto! It buffered once just prior to the game but was otherwise seamless and better than the Amazon streaming from last year.

@bones maybe a bit harsh, and it aint like I havent been wrong before, but thier set piece looks like it will struggle against the other sides, which will put all other aspects of thier game under pressure, Smith only has so many rabbits in his hat!
Hmm... lineout tweaks aren't hard to implement and there's 2 AB locks to come back.
Scrum is as good as last year at least, which didn't lead us to the wooden spoon. It got more reliable throughout the season.
-
Brown can't have been impressed with TUJ's early season form. As he talked him up as a likely starters only a few months back

You don't think Parkinson will be an AB after having already been mentioned as in the squad until he got injured?

Taylor try was forward pass from Whitelock.
Maybe. Those short passes that might be marginally forward get missed all the time. It deserved a try because of the Tu'u poor effort
Fairly weak point. If you let Crusaders have that one, you ought to chalk up 7 for disallowed Clan try, so at least a losing bonus point. And completely different last ten.

I’m not sure that it was forward
Watch it again. On Rugby Pass there was great angle. And near halfway, so can see offside line.
Thought it live, and on rechecking ball forward and Sam’s hands very clearly so.

P.S. Codie showed excellent speed.
