Highlanders v Chiefs
-
@Mattasaurus to be honest i am quite willing to cut the Landers some slack ,at the end of the day the Landers looked poorest squad on paper when the NZ teams were intially named ,there use to plenty of quality depth in NZ rugby but much of that depth has dissipated
Believe you me when the Blues could’nt beat a NZ team for a couple of seasons that was far more embarrasing given catchment area ..a point thats been lost on a few posters -
@Steven-Harris fair call mate
-
@Machpants so good, and for a prop to finish it too!
-
no chase or defensive line again from the landers.. well taken try from the Chiefs
-
Fuck me. What a try.
DMac opens up and the support play was outstanding

Highlanders are just so easy to counter and look poorly coached. Tactics and game management are diabolical, to go with a lack of talent.

@hydro11 to be fair their piviots throughout the whole season have been poor
You cant fault the effort of DeGroot ,Harman and Smith so for me its not a lack of effort its about having quality in the right places and some X factor out wide
A fit Jonah Nareki was devasting a couple of sessons back for example -
