@Kiwiwomble the way they change around these days I honestly wasn't sure. But, if the cap fits, he's got average playing very good

Not sure I've seen a game where the score less reflected the closeness.
Last 10-15 minutes the Landers were very disappointing. Shame because it was a great contest up until that point.
No doubt they deserved the win, but 40-20 reads like a humping. The Landers were a missed touch finder off a penalty away from having an attacking line out near halfway down 6 with less than 10mins to go - small margins make the difference hey.
Don’t disagree. Landers down a couple of personnel and a couple of good bench players for the Saders upping the tempo also made a difference when a few of the Landers forwards were feeling the pinch in the last quarter.

By fuck that Highlanders winger is going to be dead to me for a long time. That was the bit. That's what deflated the team most, Jesus Christ man, that one's going to cost a lot of hattricks.
Dixon, the captain, who ignored a massive overlap outside him for a certain try - is a hooker.

Jordan another step closer to the ABs.
He was great tonight wasn't he? Great acceleration, mistake free, solid defense

It's weird, he just doesn't seem or look a flashy player, but just gets so much right. Very Smith like I guess.

I went through "Generation H" at the canes, which drove me to the Highlanders. Then "Generation H" hits the landers - I'm determined to not let it drive me off, but these years are meant to be written off. I just hope it hasn't infected Mauger too much.

Drums are certainly beating all over the place.

@Kiwiwomble no team in NZ super rugby history got decimated like the Landers last off season. That was always going to a 2 year plus rebuild and any wins with this roster was always a bonus I thought, in February.
What I mean is this season and next don't reeeaallly count mate🙂

Man of Match for me was Will Jordan. All class with a hunger for hard work.
Just as easily could have picked Codie Taylor too. Impressive tonight.
Really looking forward to next weeks game v the Blues -

@Chris-B 10 bucks says the team tailor already has his suit measurements 😉
Done deal already.
Think that more of an issue will be who the ABs next opponents are -

Isn’t it disgusting that the Crusaders have been able to take advantage of a player like Will Jordan. Further evidence of the nail in the coffin of Super Rugby.
