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.

Ruru's scrappy defence has been good today.

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.

Like Perenera

@kiwimurph I like him and really want him to be a success at centre, but he did nothing more with that draw and pass than I would expect from a 1st 15 centre.

[taniwharugby]

@machpants less excitable!

[Tim]

All about the set-piece this year.

[taniwharugby]

damage control time now!

Lower try strike rate too. Another pity of TJ not playing super this year, is that he can't take the homophobes try scoring record this year

[Tim]

Remember how bad our maul used to be?

[Bones]

Boom! Comeback time. Advance early at your peril.

As bad as the maul defence is now? 😜
