Blues v Highlanders

[KiwiMurph]

That's more like it.

[Chris]

Highlanders just have no backline depth.

[Crucial]

CGB absolutely owned

[broughie]

@canes4life the game changed when the Blues decided to play in the forwards.

[Tim]

Late disruptions caused trouble, but the second half has been very good.

Heem is a great squad player.

[Canes4life]

@broughie that too, but Umaga-Jensen was instrumental, also the Highlanders obviously have no depth in the backs.

Telea's work in the air has come along leaps and bounds since Bridge absolutely schooled him 2 years ago.

[hydro11]

Terrible option to go short there. Why do teams do that when they are under pressure?

[Winger]

R4 ignore

[antipodean]

Smith keeping the Clan in the game all by himself.

[hydro11]

One frustration - I don't understand how that is not a deliberate knock on against Heem? Why is it only called when people are going for intercepts.

[Mattasaurus]

@kiwimurph calm down he out jumped the giant call mitch hunt😂

But fair call much improved in the air

Deliberate knock on to catch a pass to you? What?

[Tim]

Smith is so much better than his team mates. Stopped two tries tonight.

[Tim]

Frizzell completely absent under pressure. Not sighted in second half.

[broughie]

@tim If he is picked for the ABs it will just confirm how useless Foster and Co are.

[Tim]

Papalii was fine unless he broke bind too early.

No genuine chance to regather the ball. Going for an intercept is also trying to catch a pass. It's just bad logic that so many intercepts are called deliberate knock ons.
