Dermody rings changes ahead of Reds match

Highlanders coach Clarke Dermody has opted for an almighty shake-up as his hurting team try to bounce back from a pair of heavy losses. Dermody has...

A few comments from Dermody about the selections

Here's what he said about JRK

Jacob probably hasn’t been playing as well as he started the season, and he’s given away those yellow cards, so there are areas around defence in pressure situations that he’s working on

Highlanders have won 6 in a row against the Reds. The last lost was 2016 and by 1 point

and theres the jinx!

[Landers92]

Right, let’s see what we have in store tonight. Hopefully a huge improvement from last weekend. Up the landers!

[Bones]

Within the first minute. Harmon does something brilliant, followed by absolute laughable shambles of a lineout. Season all over

[Bones]

Less than 2 minutes later the reds score easily.

This has got to come back to coaching right? It's just not good enough.

[Canes4life]

Far too easy for the Reds there. A former Blue and Cane anchoring their scrum tonight.

I think they’ve checked out, they weren’t even marking people for that try

[Landers92]

@Bones started where we left off last week. Hey, at least we are consistent… consistently shit

[KiwiMurph]

Some big names back in Dunedin playing club rugby. Makes you wonder what the fuck is going on at the Landers.

[Bones]

@Kiwiwomble Nareki gets the ball on the run out wide with a 3 on 2 and grubbers it as hard as he can.

Definitely checked out

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph who are the big names? Is the Welsh 10 injured?

Holland, Bodego, Patchell to name 3

[Canes4life]

@KiwiMurph Holland, jeez that’s bizzare.

[KiwiMurph]

Landers are 7th if they win this game. Makes no sense to check out.

[Landers92]

Let’s hope it’s just ‘slow start’. But we are gonna have to do more than just have Tele’a as a battering ram, especially up against Paisami and Petaia

[Landers92]

@KiwiMurph Hollands first game back from 2 weeks stand down for HIA so makes sense. Same can’t be said for Patchell

[Bones]

FUCKING HELL GILBERT DON'T KICK IT AWAY WHEN WE JUST GOT IT BACK YOU UTTER fluffybunny

[antipodean]

Turnover ball and Gilbert does that with it.

[Bones]

Do we think maybe Gilbert needs glasses and won't admit it? He just ran 5 metres past that bomb
