Highlanders v Blues

[Bovidae]

McWhannell has had a tidy 1st half, apart from that tackle on de Groot. Owning the lineouts for the Blues.

Pretty tough YC. .considering the two deliberate take downs of the Landers mauls earlier - especially the one that was before the try... those cards should be given.. the try doesn't remove the foul play as such

But landers their own worst enemy.

Lot of errors, but an entertaining first 40mins -excluding the commentary

It actually looked as if the ball was out and he was only marginally offside. Tackled Blues player looked to put his hand back on it because there wasn’t a player there to clear

Rubbish kick from Fakatava

[ACT Crusader]

Pretty passive start from the Landers defence.

LOL. "I've got that backwards"

Akira half asleep

[Bones]

Too easy.

[Machpants]

But good grind too try

MT comes up with the big play….again

Fucking hell Gardner. Eight plays the ball into the locks feet who kicks it forward and then Fakatava picks it up offside. Right. In. Fucking. Front. Of. You.

[Machpants]

Telea!

That and how many of the landers joined the maul in front of the ball carrier..

That's normal, sadly

But we all know that that has been allowed for the last 20 years….

The 14 was really obvious too. The usual Gardner game, he lets a lot go

[Bones]

That's bullshit if the ball is passed behind a wall of players and you have to try go around them. Clear as day obstruction.

[antipodean]

That was a bloody good read on defence by Nareki. In that situation you'd bet on Perofeta putting Telea away.
