Highlanders v Chiefs

[Victor Meldrew]

Bit of helter-skelter play in the Chiefs 22, DMac gets the ball, thinks about running it but decides to play it safe. His play has matured a fair bit.

[Stargazer]

What a coach killer! Paea again?

I still think one of the biggest mistakes in rugby is letting yourself be that open to the counter. How many tries would the Highlanders have stopped this season, if they had someone back covering? Not that the Highlanders are unique in that aspect.

AT this stage it's on the coaches for constantly selecting him. I mean, everyone knows what's going to happen.

Burns had been good IMO

Bingo. Ironically the 13 he is up against wasn't in the full Chiefs squad to start the season.

Not a bad effort from Burns..... I'd give him another go

@Victor-Meldrew after that cringe KFC ad my son and I refer to Angus as 'Glenys!' He's turned into a family joke

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer definetly not a lack of effort from the Landers just lack quailty in certain positions

[Machpants]

Good hands by Weber, one of many from him I think

[Mattasaurus]

more soft defence from landers.. and just nothing in behind the line

[Steven Harris]

@Mattasaurus replacement hooker Marshall ,was an awful attempt

[Stargazer]

Great opportunity created by Fakatava ... butchered.

[hydro11]

Man, the Highlanders just suck.

[Steven Harris]

That sums up the Landers evening ,Great Fakatava break ..opportunity missed

[Tim]

@Stargazer TUJ should have passed it wide?

Just headless chickens... I stand by my comment after 5mins..... "best 5mins in months"

[antipodean]

Some of these Highlanders must be the last available professional rugby players left in New Zealand.

Yeah, they knock it on, then they compound it by conceding the penalty, then they don't defend a break.

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer thats about the 3rd or 4th occasion the landers have butchered opportunites in the red zone
