Highlanders vs Blues
-
Some brutal defence, but also some average defence by both teams
-
some loose ruck work
-
slow Collins looked pretty quick coming across in defence there

He came from some distance too.
I know it’s game one (of the real stuff that is) but it is nigh on impossible to get a TO at the ruck under these laws.

SBW did a bit of a dummy from the back of the rusk there...another rule he doesnt know
-
The Blues got one by having more numbers there earlier, but so far it seems like jackalling over will be super rare unless the player is totally isolated.
-
Too easy. Aaron Smith not communicating with his openside, still has his head in the scrum.
-
Fun 40 minutes.
Bit stupid by the Landers not getting rid of that.
Really missed Rugby.
Blues look pretty good - they’ve been able to get the ball in the hands of their dangerous players. Defense has been simultaneously good, and then terrible.
But for the first game of the season, the quality is pretty good.
-
Entertaining game so far. Blues deserve their half-time lead. They look the stronger side.

Good work - saw the mismatch and took advantage. If he runs a bit and slows the defense, that Blues backline will get more and more dangerous.
Cracking pass from Hoffman there too.
Excellent pass from Hodgman.

Duffie's try was a brilliant interchange, and so early in the season too - awesome. Really fun game to watch so far.
-
Highlanders missed 11-3 tackles, huge stat right there
-
I think Collins has played well. Glenn Preston was terrible but other than that everyone has gone ok. Pulu's inaccurate passing continues to cost us.
