Crusaders v Highlanders

[antipodean]

There's a long serving All Black prop having a torrid time of it out there.

[Tim]

Highlanders dominating the scrum. Moody folded there.

[KiwiMurph]

Some of the handling is atrocious

[ACT Crusader]

Perfect conditions and we are holding the ball like a piece of wet soap. Rubbish.

That last scrum penalty against the Saders was wrong. Landers should’ve been pinged for not engaging

[Tim]

Nisbett called Whitelock Ennor, lol.

Moody isn’t helping matters. Engaging on an angle then walking around to 90 degrees never looks great to a ref.

[KiwiMurph]

Reece is great at those little kicks. Underrated skill.

[Steven Harris]

@Tim beginning of the end when that start’s happening

Goodhue looks worryingly slow last week and now this

He looks huge!

[taniwharugby]

Hauiti-Parapara looks handy

[voodoo]

I have a large and growing man-crush on Blackadder

[taniwharugby]

that was pretty damn good by the Crusaders

edit - stupid fucking kick by the Highlanders though, when will kiwi teams learn with those fucking stupid nothing kicks

[Mattasaurus]

@voodoo same here. he hits hard.

He has a tremendous work rate. I'd like to see him with another 5-10kg on that frame.

[ACT Crusader]

Risky stuff from the Landers

I think you can blame the import who was so easily stepped on the sideline. Park level defence.

Brainless rugby in that part of the park. Do they have a coach?

[KiwiMurph]

Apart from the lineout the Highlanders look ok structure wise they just have fuck all talent.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean TBF Mounga has stepped better players than him in a one on one like that

As long as he doesn’t lose the pace - the TMO no-try was only close because he forced the mess, the try they scored he was the next set of hands if needed.

He’s a great combo of genuine menace but also quality link-play
