Highlanders v Reds
-
@antipodean those top down camera angles show it well!
-
this bit gave me a chuckle:
Taniela Tupou has been given more leeway by Australian whistleblowers than referees would allow in New Zealand
Yeah cos our refs are so strict and consistent!
-
@taniwharugby Especially as de Groot is a specialist at pulling back during scrums.
-
Some interesting choices, finally see sio out wide

@kiwiwomble Don't know where you get your images from, but they're way too small!!
-
@stargazer I have to make them that small for the site to let me post them
-
@kiwiwomble Use imgur.com or https://imgbb.com/ to host the images.
-
@kiwiwomble Copy the image-address instead of the image, and use this icon:
-
@stargazer use to try that but must be doing something wrong and it just shows “link text”
-
@kiwiwomble You have to make sure the link to the image is between the right brackets (in blue):
-
If you're getting that you've clicked the 'link' button not the one @Stargazer pointed to
-
....yeah, I’ll just stick with text from now on

Reds resting a few players, and benching a few of their guns.
That said it's still a very decent side.
The Highlanders/Reds HT/FT double is paying $10 on Sportsbet here and it's juicy. If the Reds can hang with the Clan and then bring on LSL, Tupou, McReight and Vunivalu then I can see them finishing over the top of them.

@barbarian aaaand back to Sportsbet i go

@crucial said in Highlanders v Reds:
Reds are confident playing a rookie halfback against Aaron Smith.
But halfbacks don't really play each other, though, do they?
Playing Thomas is a risk but I wonder if McDermott was completely cooked from the final. I'm actually surprised more Reds players weren't rested for this one given the toll of the final.
