Reds v Highlanders

Bones

Whitelock is playing much better but still doesn't really fit the highlanders game plan - at least not in the wide channels. Twice now they've had a positive looking attack and he's been found out wide and tucked the ball with no thought other than taking the tackle and going to ground.

Unite

Good kick that one

Bones

Osborne is having an absolute shitter on defence.

How the hell is that play on? Every other ref on earth gives that as a lazy running penalty.

Hometown Jackson needs to read the offside rule

Hah I was just going to say exactly those words. Ignore the 3 offside guys on that play and award the penalty to the reds.

fuck off glen

Tordah

what the fuck was Jackson doing there, embarassing refereeing

Bones

Every reply I see seems to show either of our props having a nice little relaxing walk. Not good. 
Really weak defence too, just going backwards in the tackle.

Great scrambling defence but the Highlanders are falling off way too many tackles.

Mattasaurus

JJ will be putting on the steel caps and preparing the riot act

African Monkey

Awful display from the Highlanders so far. Need an attitude adjustment in the 2nd half.

Pass was forward?
 
Nah seemed alright on the replay. Just looked that way.

Mattasaurus

worst 40mins of landers footy for 2016

Tordah

the Highlanders make the Reds look like world beaters with their shitty tackling

Unite

Woeful

antipodean

Do the Highlanders actually have 15 on the field?

African Monkey

More disgraceful Highlanders defence. They look very disinterested in this half.

Mattasaurus

now he knows what offside is... cock
