Fekitoa been working on his distribution?
Good luck to him if he has

I read Fekitoa was caught between staying in NZ and reviving his AB career after the taster he had in the 3rd test - or taking a megabucks deal offshore. Personally I hope he stays.He has something to offer.

No-arms tackle/shoulder-charge by Kwayde?

Maybe but I thought it was more of a push, which is actually ok. Was worth another look I think, but probably ok.

40-17 Landers. 6 tries to 3.

[Stargazer]

@Siam 40-17 to the Highlanders after 68 minutes.

[Stargazer]

The Landers are giving away too many tries.

[Stargazer]

Who has gone off for Banks? They said Buckman, but he's still on the field. Sops, too.

[Crash]

I like what I've seen from the two halfbacks Hammington and Renton. That last pass from Renton was a cracker.

Fekitoa.

[Stargazer]

@hydro11 Tomkinson came on for Fekitoa. Has Thompson left the field?

[Crash]

Wasn't that a 2nd high shot?

[Stargazer]

@Crash Yes, it was. Time for a YC.

[Stargazer]

Handbags

[Crash]

Well Landers got the job done

[Stargazer]

Full time: 40 - 17 Highlanders

[Stargazer]

Some ads are really for imbeciles! Geez.

[Damo]

Good enough from highlanders but they need to be better on defense next week wherever they go to.

I like the way most of our up and coming halfbacks are in the A Smith/TJP mould rather than the Weepu/Marshall/extra loose forward mould. Really adds to the backlines.

[Crucial]

Landers in a nice place heading toward the quarters. I'd say they have a great chance of removing the Lions if they meet

[Gunner]

Like the comment from T Brown there answering a question about being sad about that possibly being his last game at FB Stadium.
To paraphrase:
'Na not really, I'm thinking of it as a sabbatical, I think I'll be back in a couple of years, just got to convince the Highlanders board that I'm available in 2 years...'

Love it!
