Preseason: Highlanders v Crusaders
-
The first half Crusaders running all over some reasonably inexperienced Highlanders. Will be interesting to see some more first stringers in the second half.
-
@SouthernMann score?

Crusaders: Patafilo, Goodhue, Lio-Willie, Kellow tries; Burke 3 cons
Highlanders: Gregory try; Millar con
Moody played about 30 minutes; Dunshea went of after 35 minutes. Patafilo after 37.
Goodhue looked very sharp.

It's alright we have top quality cantabs like Sam Gilbert, Billy Harmon, Daniel Lienert-Brown, James Lentjes and Will Tucker from Canterbury. Players they were desperate to keep.

Mainly focusing on second string cantabs.

Highlanders already having two tries disallowed (to TU-J and MMT), but starting the second half strong. (forward pass and obstruction)
What is a little scary is this is clearly the Highlanders top backline minus Smith and who knows at 10. We just look toothless.
-
@SouthernMann The Highlanders have had far more chances in this second half than the Crusaders.
TU-J, Nareki and Lowe looking good in the backline.

And then they just go all around the world on the counter attack.
