Tomkinson playing well in the first 20 minutes.

Parete with a yellow in preseason. Good luck with him this year Landers fans.

In midseason form already.

[Stargazer]

This ref is a bit too keen to hand out cards, IMO.

HT: Waratahs 7 - 14 Highlanders

[Stargazer]

So Fakatava and Mikaele-Tu'u have come on.

Great pass from Fakatava to Vella there.

[Stargazer]

Josh Dickson and Dillon Hunt are on the field now, too.

[Stargazer]

I'd like to see Mikaele-Tu'u and TBN next to each other. Mikaele-Tu'u looks much bigger, but I may be wrong.

[Stargazer]

That was poor defence from the Landers. Tahs score.

[Stargazer]

Another try for the Tahs. Great cross-field kick from the reserve first five.

[Stargazer]

Couldn't see who scored the try for the Highlanders; Gatland converted.

Highlanders take back the lead: 19 - 21

[Stargazer]

It was Daniel Lienert-Brown who scored.

And just when I was about to post that, the Tahs are in again.

[Stargazer]

Did the commentators say why they're having drinks breaks?

Just a guess, it would be heat protocols for pre-season games in Australia at this time of year. Doesn't appear to be too hot in Sydney tonight but it could be 40 degrees plus in Dalby next week for the Waratahs v Reds trial.

[Stargazer]

That was way too easy for the Tahs. Another try.

[Bovidae]

The game in Waihi today was played in ~20 min quarters to allow drinks breaks. Or is this game having more regular breaks?

[Stargazer]

@Bovidae No, it's the same.

[Stargazer]

Ugghh, the Tahs score in the last seconds of the game.

The Highlanders' defence and scrum still need a lot of work.

FT: Waratahs 40 - 21 Highlanders
