That last scrum was an absolute mess. I was expecting Damon to whistle a penalty there. No idea to who.
Fair play to him, he didn't guess and clearly wanted both sides to be able to have the ball in play. As we saw when attacking teams couldn't secure quick ball.

Highlanders hang on to edge Waratahs
The Highlanders showed plenty of courage and kicked the goals that counted to escape Sydney with a 23-21 win over the Waratahs last night.

Breathe now Highlanders fans.
You just can't breathe with the Clan. They are as stressful as fuck. I am not sure I enjoy watching them anymore. I spend more time looking away in disgust than actually watching the game.

Agent Edmed, you beauty.
Fucking atrocious last twenty, did our best to lose. Lowe with a great first involvement to wave NSW in. Hopefully we can move on from him. On that note, Telea is really coming into his own, great game.
Funny with Telea, he shut me up, up until he scored I was a little pissed he kept running away from support and getting penalised in the tackle for holding the ball. Then he scored that try he had no right too, and I thought lucky I han't said anything!

I ws happy he didn't, think he would of erlier in game, but as we often see refs don't tend to blow penalties unless it real clear cut at end of game. And I not sure who was f***ing up that last scrum. Anyway real wrapped for the Clan winning that one.

Totally agree. I thought he was excellent in getting us over the advantage line. His bit of extra pace makes all the difference, and obviously that try was off the charts. That is the difference between the Highlanders this year and last - we have players in our backline who can make something from nothing to win the ugly games.

@gt12 how did the Sam Gilbert slander work out for you 😉
All jokes aside, hard fought win. Think we should be glad to take that win and get home to regroup and take on the brumbies next week. As someone in the season thread suggested, Expect a couple changes to freshen up. I just hope we stick with Patchell as it is definitely working, injecting Ajay in late has also looked good the last 2 weeks.
We are in a pretty decent place, better than I thought we would be after 3 weeks anyway. Promising start to the season is nice for a change!
