Highlanders v Blues

[KiwiMurph]

Pretty useful stint from Parkinson. Showed flashes.

[Bones]

Did Nisbo call a player Jamie Joseph before?

[African Monkey]

@Bones No haha was comparing a Highlanders counter ruck to the days when Jamie Joseph was in charge, but yes he is bad like that.

[mariner4life]

Gee Harmon has been good

I think he was reminiscing about when he played.

[Steven Harris]

@Bones was refereing to his style of attacking a ruck

[African Monkey]

@mariner4life Very underrated player. Always thought the Crusaders let the wrong 7 go (not that it mattered results wise).

[antipodean]

That was awesome defence on the goal line by Perofeta. Big run to cover gaping hole and got there in time to put a monster hit on his opposite.

[African Monkey]

@antipodean Saw him coming from a mile away, I assumed it was Rieko originally haha.

[mariner4life]

As a unit the Highlanders pack has been far superior to the Blues.

[Mattasaurus]

Regardless of result - Landers mission next week will be ball security.

Both defense's have been awesome at times

They seem to be focusing on core roles better. They're also not carrying that permed donkey.

Hunt would set that Blues backline alight IMO.

Far out Pat, should not be dropping those throws.

Both sides lineouts have been poor

@KiwiMurph Him, Laulala and Ofa.

Been impressed with Fusitua.

Quicker lineouts is having that affect.
