Highlanders v Brumbies

Edit: it could also be at the AB selectors request? Shifting Paea to 12 opens up the possibility of a Paea/Ennor midfield.

@Bones not bad ...

Brown was very complimentary of this midfield earlier in the season, saying they had the potential to be world class.

Now he's shifted them around in their positions? Weird.

It's very possible that their jerseys will be the other way round when they take the field on Sunday. Late changes sometimes aren't accurately reflected in team releases.

@Bones Paea with his size

His ability to outshine every other midfielder and show consistency is second to none.

Unfortunately, it's consistently getting dropped at the first sniff of a tackler.

had to put a sir ed on the debuting Sam Caird and while doing so I've noticed brumbies who opened at $2.60 are now the favourites at $1.72 , luckily got in early on that head to head

Bones

It's our year!

I wonder if Japanese rugby will rescind than 1.4 mil offer for Banks.....

Bones

Good to see Fakatava taking kicking lessons from Hunt

Damo

Horror start for the Highlanders.

I don't know how it is still 0-0.

Highlanders very sloppy so far...brumbies too I guess but looking sharper

This game is like last night in the way the Brumbies are getting quick ruck ball. Noticeably faster than the respective NZ teams.

Yeah and noticeably messy for Fakatava to deal with. Brumbies flying in the side, but Highlanders not even staying on their feet or setting properly. I think one of the best clears on our ball was Hunt!

Would you look at that, intentional knock forward and no card 😁

It wasn't intentional for a start.

Just because the ref said it was intentional doesn't make it so...

Tim

Brumbies all over them.

He mistakenly reached for the ball? Interesting.

Highlanders still in the changing room. This could get ugly.

Damo

Weakest NZ team v strongest OZ team so we shouldn't be too surprised.

Hope we put a decent fight.
