Hurricanes vs Highlanders
-
<p>ball security shoulda been your first priority there Julian</p>
-
Landers saved by the bounce of the ball, thought BB was in for sure there.

<p>BB is awesome! What pace!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Anyone who wants to take his AB bench finisher spot is gonna have to be double awesome. Which is like triple chocolate ice cream. Its chocolate but three times more chocolate than chocolate.</p>

<p>That's very racist.</p> -
<p>Julian Savea has looked terrible out there. He just seems to have no game other than to run over people. He did it once and just got tackled but two other times he was bundled into touch and lost it forward. He's great if you put him into space but teams seem to know how to mark him out.</p>

<p>seems like Savea is keen to teach that Naholo a lesson...ie use your pace to burn people rather than run into contact and get pushed into touch or drop it</p> -

<p>Julian Savea may have made some mistakes, <strong>at least he tried.</strong> Has Naholo touched the ball yet? Jane and Osbourne the better wings in the first half.</p>

<p>yep, lets give him a certificate!</p> -

<p>See I thought Osborne was looking well outclassed by the other outsides on the park. Conditions are tough but without bad finishing the Highlanders would be killing it.</p> -

Naholo stripped the ball from Savea resulting in a knock on and then did very well to get that clearing kick in. He's had the better of the clash thus far. -

Yeah, you've got to admire the way they put the ball through the hands despite the conditions. A lot of teams (especially up north) would shut up shop and play 10 man rugby with that kind of rain. -
How the fuck the canes get an attcking scrum, leading to a Shields try after 3 referees miss Julian playing the ball on the ground and a ridiculous forward pass is beyond me.<br><br>
Rain makes for great leveller but it's certainly a tight game<br><br>
Hard to pick but a willing contest. Wet weather rugby no more relevant eh? -
Fuck TJP....

<p>HIghlanders right back in it.</p>

<p>17-14 3rd min of 2nd half</p> -
James Marshall and Julian Savea are both shit. Chuck Woodward at the back and Laumape on the left wing please.
