Highlanders v Blues

@Tim said in Highlanders v Blues:

Also from that article:

Leon MacDonald’s fifth year as head coach is expected to be his last, with the possibility of joining the All Blacks coaching team alongside Scott Robertson or leading Scotland live options.

Sounds like the Blues, Crusaders and Hurricanes will be looking for a new coach next year with Holland also tipped to join Robertson.

Watching the game last night, I can see why Ofa has slimmed down and we have the locks we do starting. Too much size is going to kill some of these guys, hope our fitness is on point!

Fucking great for watching in th3 first half of the year

Possibly a huge handicap in France in the 2nd half of the year

Depends on the game plan and selections. Ripe for a 1987 style blitz in the last 20 running teams off their feet.

BB with an aimless kick. Right where he left off 2022

[mariner4life]

AB 10s and shit kicks with no distance and no point

A match made in heaven

[KiwiMurph]

BB took 30 seconds to make a rubbish kick haha.

[Stargazer]

Nareki ruled out with a foot injury. Connor Garden-Bachop has come into the starting XV and Bogado onto the bench.

Great defence from the trainers

[number9]

Ofa got raped there.

[Toddy]

Thought the Blues were lucky to get away with their lazy defenders getting in the way of the Highlanders ruck ball. AS would be milking that for all money

[Stargazer]

Dammit. MMT injured in the first 3 minutes.

[KiwiMurph]

No point mouthing at the ref

What for too. Like hands were on the ground everywhere

[KiwiMurph]

Tuipulotu has really poor hands for a lock.

[Bones]

Gilbert takes the kick because it's out of Hunt's range.

[Steven Harris]

@KiwiMurph its the most annoying ones as well ,under no pressure what so ever

[Tim]

Expecting Blues to be pretty rusty, and out of puff at the end.

[mariner4life]

Just like last night hard defence and huge ruck pressure

Highlanders 4th defenders are getting a huge headstart but I love their defensive intent

[Tim]

LOL Dickson. Got to be a bit sneakier than that.
