    Tight game but doesn’t leave you with feeling that the ABs are looking good. Not when the Highlanders no names take the match into the 78 minute against a team with so many All Blacks.

    There's some good players in that Hurricanes pack and the abyss that is the disparity of talent in the halves makes it a close game. Swap the halves and it's a hiding.

    Good point about the Canes. I reckon Blackwell will really grow given the opportunity to step up

    Hmm. I've edited that embarrassment.

    I agree in terms of the backline. But the fact that a backrow player as good as Billy Harmon was tonight probably won't be the All Blacks squad on Monday shows you where the current strength of NZ Rugby lies.

    We have some great players, and teams like the Highlanders show that the selectors need to cast their net widely. Just awesome.

    But that said the Blues power game is the stuff required at international level.

    Who would have guessed; Blake Gibson scored the match winner. Underrated player. 😛

    Yeah good fresh injection when a number of the Landers looked out on their feet and all that tackling/defending had taken its toll.

    @tim Plummer especially. Clutch kicks. Gibson had to just fall over but nothing wrong. Ruru? Remember him throwing the ball into touch….

    Nock lovers are boring.

    Ruru had a great fast clearance to make that try and Gibson worked hard to be there. Was good play

    Tuipulotu coming back on seemed to calm the team. Coincidence? Might have been a lucky break for the coaches to have him come back on.

    If Plummer can kick under pressure like that, then I'd probably prefer him to Black at 10.

    @kirwan equally Christie fluffers!

    BUt it says somethign when Ruru comes on and improves the play at 9 (aside form that wild pass, but was under advantage anyway)

    2018 vibes for those kicks.
