Superb try. Brilliant from Nareki.

@SouthernMann how young is Haig? He defs looks like a player of the future for sure.
He's the oldest looking 22-year-old going around. He is also eligible for Australia and England too.
-
@SouthernMann plenty of time for him to push for national selection. This year is probably too soon. If he can lock down the Landers 6 jersey he'll certainly push his case.

Can’t stress enough how much we have missed him
-
@Landers92 he's everywhere today.
-
Take the shot.
-
Faleafaga showing some great touches. Took that high kick really nicely. He also had a pinpoint kick early on too. A lot to like with him.

@SouthernMann he reminds me of a young Sopoaga. Looks to have the goods.

As the Highlanders develop as a team and have the capability to attack more, he will be a better option than Millar. Millar is more suited to a very structured and limited team, like we are at the moment.
-
@Canes4life Haha, I remember saying in here when he was still at St Peters College that he is the closest thing I have seen to Lima Sopoaga. He's looking like it at this stage.

Top off load from big Oli Haig to send Tavatavanawai away
-
This KFC race is pretty fucking weak
-
Great first half. A couple missed opportunities to put them to the sword there at the end of half. If De Groot had given it out the back instead of taking it in and getting turned over and if Te Hiwi didn’t have that early drop hot on attack. Te Hiwi also took it in hot on attack instead of releasing it but lucky for him he gained about 20m so it didn’t look so bad.

I thought Tw Hiwi's second 20 was pretty decent. Straightened up a bit and looked a bit more confident. Thought the locks, Haig, Fakatava, Faleafaga and the back three have been our best
-
Really solid defensive half. Harmon his usual self, great carries and great defense. Fakatava is having one of his better games of the season. Ajay looks comfortable which is great to see and plenty to build on in the second half. Keep the foot on the throat by taking it to them up front and playing territory and we should be safe here.
