Highlanders v Reds

[NTA]

I remember seeing Faessler play club rugby in Brisbane and thinking "great engine. Shame he's so small"

Gotta say he plays bigger than he looks

[KiwiMurph]

Can't see the Landers having enough points in them to take this one.

[Mattasaurus]

@KiwiMurph not with out TUJ in the midfield... hes the only line breaker we have ... and with out him we rely so much on Nareki brilliance.... Sam Gilbert just shovels it on all the time with out challenging the line

[Bones]

The reds winger was standing right next to the scrum. Come on pickerel

[His Bobness]

Highlanders look clueless on attack. Not dealing with the rush defence. Queenslanders, by contrast, making easy yards on attack. Was amazed to hear the pre-match commentators talking up a Highlanders win. Just clueless. Not a smart team.

[Kirwan]

Aaron Smith showing why he’s so valuable

[Derpus]

Kalani Thomas is such a significant downgrade from McDermott. Sleeping on that turnover from Smith and delivery on attack so slow.

[NTA]

Pickerell us such a hard ref to watch.

Yep. Passing has been laboured and imprecise. Some great individual performances (esp. Nareki) but as a team effort lacking.

Renton so far offside at a ruck but Pickell looking at the ruck after the ball was won

[KiwiMurph]

As ridiculous as the top 8 is - this has been a fun game with both teams pushing for the finals

[Kirwan]

Ref is swallowing his whistle here. For both sides, but making for a messy game.

[Mattasaurus]

Thanks Aaron - you've been awesome

[Kirwan]

90% of the brains of the Clan just subbed off with Smith.

It's fucking rubbish refereeing

[Mattasaurus]

Pickerall is a typical SRP ref.. (thats not a compliment)

[Kirwan]

@NTA fist time with Pickerell? He’s shit.

No every time I see him coming I sigh

[Dan54]

By gee , couple of teams looking to see if they can make it until first game of finals, they don't look much better than that!

[NTA]

Paisami has been crap
