Highlanders v Moana Pasifika

[Toddy]

Fakatava first action was to put his hands on the ground to balance himself. It's a bullshit penalty.

[Stargazer]

I forgot this is a grumpy old men forum. Better get out before I turn into one as well.

[KiwiMurph]

@stargazer people are allowed to criticise Hawke's Bay players

[antipodean]

Well done Brumbies on your first win of the competition.

[Stargazer]

@kiwimurph That's not the point. It's that the negatives are always emphasised here, and if someone finally says something positive about a player (regardless which province he's from), some people immediately follow it up with something negative to counter the positive.

[Grooter]

wins a win, not sure why koroi only got on for 1 minute

@toddy ,MP have not helped themselves with so many infractions , but you are dead right they have had no love from Fraser and the example you highlighted is spot on .

[KiwiMurph]

Was that the 4th game in 14 days for MP?

[Yeetyaah]

Change the name to HighWanders coz they finally got the W

[Stargazer]

Shit, Tony Brown just said that both Frizell and Selby-Rickit look like they've done their ACL and that their season may be over. Injuries are always awful, but ACLs, that's really bad. Hope it's not as serious as he thinks it is.

[Grooter]

@stargazer bugger!! so many of our team have done their acl's in recent seasons Fakatava, Nareki, Pari & Gilbert

[Stargazer]

Sekope Kepu with his arm in a sling, too.

Highlanders need a better 13

The 12 is struggling too..

What are their other options?

Sucks for MSR especially, he was playing great this season and brings that missing dynamism.

[Grooter]

@duluth Umaga Jensen twins should obviously reunite in 2023🙂

[Bones]

P.S. It's our year!

I think he said MCLs.

[Mr Fish]

@akan004 Yep definitely MCLs, not ACLs. So a return for the finals wouldn't be entirely out of the question (although still unlikely).
