Highlanders V Brumbies Super Bang Bang quarter finals

[Tordah]

<p>man, the Brumbies are taking the Highlanders down to their shitty level</p>

[gt12]

The landers look shit.<br><br>
Edit to remove 'my god'

Wind playing a big part so far

[Toddy]

<p>Who has the wind behind them? </p>

Both teams look very tentative with ball....

[Gunner]

I'm not liking the Highlanders tactics of giving slow ball to one off runners who are flat footed. They're not making any headway with it. Maybe time to go to the pick & go.

[Mattasaurus]

Technically. . He went down beyond the ball... but calling of that has been far and few between

I reckon the landers were lucky they just conceded a penalty. One attacking chance, one line break?<br><br>
Landers will have to do more with the ball than what they are doing. This rain might really fuck them up.

[Mattasaurus]

I have a sinking feeling. ....we need to change game plan... now it's maul time ffs

[gt12]

They're pretty fucking dumb. In these conditions, what's the fucking game plan? It's perfect for Brumbies, so they're going to help them out?

[Toddy]

<p>Highlanders catch a break with the ref missing a forward pass</p>

[gt12]

Much better. Risky though.

[Chris B.]

<p>The rain probably making Joseph's gamble on playing Lucky Luke at lock look a bit shit.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Highlanders still playing high risk-high reward.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I think they'll end up OK. Could have had a couple of tries with slightly more composure.</p>

[Mattasaurus]

Brumbies getting away with slowing ruck ball very well

[Tordah]

<p>Pocock never releasing, almost always assist tackler, helping bringing the player to the ground and then not releasing him. Highlanders still shit, though</p>

[gt12]

They're not doing anything with the ball, just shoveling it along and hoping smith makes a break?

[Nepia]

<p>Ben Smith is looking quite big tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Naholo and Osborne would be lucky to catch a cold between them.</p>

[gt12]

Fucking hell Faddes.

I left work early for this shit. Now I know why the stadium is empty.
