Highlanders v Reds

[African Monkey]

@gt12 No he always did while he was at Sacred Heart College he said it himself when he was at school.

@gt12 said in Highlanders v Reds:

@African-Monkey

Did he really? Or was the story sold after he was passed over?

No, there were interviews with him before he signed with the Reds. He clearly said he wanted to play for the Wallabies.

[gt12]

@Stargazer

Weren’t those interviews published after he wasn’t offered a contract by Auckland/ the Blues? I might have it wrong, but I remember him being for Australia after not being offered a contract by Auckland and the Blues?

[Stargazer]

The ref had to consult the AR before deciding, but Frizell has scored a try.

[98blueandgold]

How good is this Frizell! he has come out of the blue, maybe he should be an AB?

[gt12]

Frizell had a good offload earlier too. Hes started this year well.

[Stargazer]

@gt12 No, I remember it from when the first clips of him playing school rugby started to appear in the media. So quite early on.

[African Monkey]

@gt12 No he definitely said it whist at school, he said it once he got famous after dominating Kelston in a game. I know the Blues get criticised a lot for poor recruitment but they can't be blamed for this one.

@antipodean Stuff put him in last week's team of the round.

[African Monkey]

@Tim Did he name the side himself?

[antipodean]

Huge forward pass from Aaron Smith to Faddes?

[Gunner]

Try, but massive forward pass 2 or 3 phases back.

Lucky they went a couple of phases after it, or the try would have been scrubbed if had been score sooner, surely.

[Stargazer]

The floodgates have opened. Great work break from Faddes, Ben Smith is in.

[Stargazer]

Commentators are right; pass from Aaron Smith was forward. Try should have been disallowed.

[gt12]

@African-Monkey

Fair enough, must be my memory.

It was 3 phases. I was cheering them not to score straight away. There were just enough phases so they couldn't go back.

[Gunner]

Highlanders lineout keeping the Reds in this.

[antipodean]

Another Reds try because the hooker can't hit a target.

[Stargazer]

Was there a forward pass in there, too, to the Red's halfback? Anyway, Red's try awarded.

[98blueandgold]

Two tries off shit lineouts. Sort it out!!!!!!!
