Highlanders v Drua

[Grooter]

Bogado new cult hero for sure

[Mattasaurus]

Gilbert MOTM ... best game I have seen him put together

[Stargazer]

It may not have prevented the try, but that tackle from Fakatava was excellent.

[Mattasaurus]

Millar has young man gas

[Yeetyaah]

Fuck that was beautiful

[Grooter]

Incredibly proud of the team today, a guy like Broughton has really shined

[Stargazer]

Lowe has played a role in quite a few tries, in addition scoring himself.

[Mattasaurus]

Marshall shut up ... its called wreckless play... he was no where near the ball ffs

[Stargazer]

There's no way the Drua player had a chance to catch that ball. It doesn't matter whether he had his eyes on the ball, or not.

[Winger]

FT 57-24 Highlanders

[Dan54]

That was pretty impressive by the Clan, not telling anyone who the fool was who had Drua picked to win, then when I saw the Clan's injury, I thought, yep I have picked right team!

Wahy do I bloody know?

[Duluth]

[SouthernMann]

Shit, Sam Gilbert was tidy in the midfield

@taniwharugby said in Highlanders v Drua:

@antipodean oh I know he has them all, but for the past couple of years in black he has been far too predictable, although showed a glimmer of his running game again on the EOYT.

I am a broken record I know, but the current AB environment hasn't enhanced many players' reputations.

[Old Samurai Jack]

DeGroot has a huge impact in the collisions and his set piece is very good for a still, very young prop. He is a bit "clunky" on his feet with the pace and speed of SR though. It seems he suits test rugby better than he suits super rugby, especially in games like this. I kind of think he'd really shine in the knockout stages and definitely in the SF and final although he won't get to show that this year with the Clan of course.
Just writing some internal thoughts, tis all.

Every one that made it in the pitch deserves credit , I don’t think anyone had a bad game and several people shone

One person that hadn’t been mentioned is CGB, I think seeming he has largely been sidelined this season he came in and sparked, made meters with ease, I’d be starting him at 15 next week and put Gilbert in the midfield

And Marshall can get tucked, if that was done to the crusaders he’d be calling for a long ban, he often the first to claim there aren’t accidents, players need to predict this stuff, not put them selves in positions to hurt others

Marshall's comments are so inconsistent and random that I'm surprised anyone takes any notice anymore.
Agree with CBG tonight.

[Kiwiwomble]

I think that fair, showed some spark in midfield, hope he didn;t get injured at the end there
