[Mattasaurus]

Tempo is up, whistle going our way.. Let's make hay while the sun shines

[KiwiMurph]

Fakatava is back.

Excellent

[Stargazer]

Fakatava really should be an ABs apprentice in July if he isn't eligible.

Ratima deserves to be in the wider squad as well.

@kiwi_expat After the next RWC, maybe.

This is a pretty good performance by the Highlanders.

I thought the Reds were probably the second best Aussie team so to win away from home is a good result.

Questions need to be asked about the coaching at the Reds. I know they're missing some stars, but this is poor.

[Stargazer]

MMT must have lost about a pint of blood during this game. I've seen the blood streaming from his head at least three times..

[Derpus]

@Damo not recently. Brumbies by some distance, then Tahs.

[KiwiMurph]

@Stargazer I reckon he's fitter this year MMT. Defensive workrate has stepped up.

[Mattasaurus]

Great to get the win.

Some solid work from the boys up front. And the bench really upped the pace.

[Canes4life]

Well done Landers, what a way to guts it out. Man that Fakatava was something else coming on at the end there.

[Stargazer]

@KiwiMurph Yep, he's looking very strong, and not losing too much speed.

He was very good in the line-out and according to the stats from SANZAAR, he also made most metres of all Highlanders players.

Hopefully, last year was his 2nd year dip and will only improve from now. It looks like he's getting better and better.

He's pushing for an ABs spot and although I don't expect him to make it (this year), it's good to have him as a back-up in case injuries strike. I reckon he's close (closer than Grace, for example).
