@bones have seen others penalized for same thing this year

I haven't seen it this year, but it was their "thing" last year (which they dropped after a few rounds when they got bored, as usual).

[Tim]

That's it. Tolai has been good today.

[taniwharugby]

[ploughboy]

I must have been too busy faffing over Nareki

[Nepia]

No clear separation by the Highlanders player there.

[taniwharugby]

@nepia was very fast one on 2nd viewing

[Steven Harris]

@tim Darry has got better the longer the game has gone

[Machpants]

Aaron Smith guilty of playing the ref rather than the ball

[Tim]

Ruru's scrappy defence has been good today.

[taniwharugby]

poor ruck work by Highlanders

[Nepia]

Who's the openside now?

[Tim]

@nepia Sotutu?

Hoskins I guess

[Bones]

I take it that's the first time Punivai has ever kicked the ball. Congratulations buddy, you did it!

[Frank]

I think Papalii could be a great future 7.

Can’t say he’s been very good clearing the ball though. Seems laboured and making late decisions. Forward dominance means it doesn’t matter though.

[Tim]

@crucial Yeah, that's the Ruru trade off.

[taniwharugby]

@crucial thats what you get from Ruru though...good scrapper defensively, but offset by his slower work going forward.
