Highlanders vs Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

@bones I vaguely remember him going to the sideline, but can't remember whether he went off for a HIA. Possibly it was just a quick check by the team doctor.

@bones @Stargazer Oh yes I can see it now you guys were right and I was wrong I apologise.
And with my tail between my legs I’m off to bed goodnight.

You could even say, an HIA 😉 he definitely went to the sideline. Didn't realise players were supposed to bounce to their feet and immediately head to the doc @mikey07 !

Don't do that. Dig in and stubbornly fight your corner despite evidence to the contrary. That is the Fern way!

I thought the ref was very good, it was the tmo who got that call wrong. Same as the blues game the refs seemed less reluctant to blow up the ruck for slight technicalities and let the game go. He was very clear with his tackles and release etc.

@stargazer said in Highlanders vs Hurricanes:

@mikey07 Do you think that black eye just appeared by itself? And do you think it's coincidence that that happened immediately after Aumua lunged at him, shoulder first?

You’d think if a ref sends someone for a head knock check then they would be able to check how the head knock occurred just to cover their own arses against accusations of double standards

It was a terrific game of rugby though and good to see some of the younger players sticking their hands up for higher honours.

Well, I expected Ardie to be a hypocrite with the final call (after the last game) but he was all class. Hopefully, these teams find their mojo against the Aussie sides.

Rayasi all class for the Hurricanes. He must be a contender for national honours later in the year. Jordie looking at home at 12.

Highlanders super brave, despite the unlucky loss. They are a franchise heading in the right direction.

He's been cake all year until today and has about half a dozen guys in front of him. Bit early to be a few cans down bro but hey happy Easter!

[sparky]

@bones Yep, sun's out. Happy Easter!

Rayasi had a great game (if he doesn't get national honours soon, I wouldn't blame him for heading to the Top 14), Jordie looked good at 12. Apart from that these Canes look rather mediocre.

Rayasi should go and get a game with the Breakers, because he’s barely played any decent rugby this year

[Stargazer]

@sparky National honours? For Fiji?

[Grooter]

Wish Dawai played instead of Gregory, we noticably kick into higher gear when Folau comes on.. maybe he should start against nic white next week🤔hunt suits the 22 jersey just like he did at his prior team, I'm gutted we lost all regular derby's this season ,
Blake Gibson has turned out to be a good signing for the canes

About as deserving as Bridge at this stage.

[taniwharugby]

@stargazer I didn't think they do sideline HIA anymore and i thought they took about 5-10 mins to do.

[booboo]

Quick thoughts:

Aumua farking lucky.

Mau did not ground it, but reckon could have got the PT for Jordie's high tackle.

Momentum got the ball onto the leg and then the ground. Try.

There was no vision of the ball on the ground.
