Highlanders v Brumbies

[frugby]

Should be a good game this. I feel the Highlanders will either improve and keep more of the ball, which should allow us to blow the Brumbies away - or, our lack of possession and high tackle count might catch-up on us.

With O'Keeffe as the referee, I'm confident of an open game which should favour us.

With the cricket season over I am looking forward to the first game of Super Rugby.

How has preseason form been for both these teams?

[Duluth]

What a mess

Did he ground that?

[Mattasaurus]

not sure on the grounding

[Damo]

Did halfback have the ball when he was taken out at the back of the ruck?

[taniwharugby]

Yeah didnnt look like it

[Damo]

Grounding is fine

[Mattasaurus]

Great Nisbo jinx prior to first kick....

[KiwiMurph]

Some good play from Harmon early

I had another look. It was fine. Good play from the Highlanders.

Nice work Jack Taylor.....

Degroot HIA

[taniwharugby]

Liking the work of Hicks and Sanders

[Mattasaurus]

Degroot gone.... looked like a pretty heavy knee to the back of the head... (not malicious).. hope the big guy recovers well ... but could be a few weeks

[KiwiMurph]

Nisbo confusing an Argie winger with Tom Sanders......

[Damo]

Brumbies score but I am not convinced about turning down a gimme 3 at this stage in the game.

[Mattasaurus]

I hate the way some players literally try to place the ball back in to the tackler when there is plenty of space....

[Mattasaurus]

Glad they took the 3, looking a bit tired and out of ideas leading into that

[taniwharugby]

Fakatavas pass looking sharp.

[Mattasaurus]

Brumbies whinge at the ref almost as often as the irish

[Mattasaurus]

Fakatavas D has been noticeably more aggressive this week
