Naholo is having real problems under the high ball.

Naholo just isn't very good. Shadow of his former self.

[Steven Harris]

Crusaders when their line out struggles always go to Read and he always delivers 3 x snares moving around different positions in the lineout along with 2 brilliant handling offloads in the first 10 minutes..not that the player he was but still better than anything else in an 8 jersey

@KiwiMurph on both thiers and when chasing

[Canerbry]

Mo'unga with a Carlos-esque beautiful line break then shit kick to no-one.

[taniwharugby]

very costly card

[gt12]

Squire with the losing of the game.

[Canes4life]

Big black mark against Squire. That yellow card has cost them the game.

[Chris]

@Steven-Harris spot on also there is those little things he does that is vital for a champion team

[Tim]

@gt12 If Akira Ioane had done that and cost a card he would've been put in prison, and the government would've done a deal with Australia to send him to Nauru.

[taniwharugby]

@Chris not enough 30m runs with 6 players on his back

[Steven Harris]

Hard enough playing the Saders 15 on 15 ,but when you lose a player to a yellow card..
Not completely out of the game, but need to be the next try scorers.

[KiwiMurph]

Hammett really gets discipline out of these Highlanders forwards eh.

[98blueandgold]

My team have been real dicks to ref tonight. Come on franklin!!

[Tim]

@KiwiMurph Had his usual result on player retention too ...

[Damo]

I was feeling OK at half time, but the Highlanders have fallen apart in the last 15 minutes. Now a balked throw into the lineout? When was the last time you saw one of those?

[Canerbry]

A Balk at a lineout! The Highlanders really can't moan about the ref can they...

Didn't they say Highlanders have conceded hardly any penalties this season?

Yeah hamster influence strong

TJ should be starting nine for ABs, toilet really still has his bullet pass but that's it. TJ much better, tactical, multifaceted player.
