Highlanders v Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

@Canes4life It will be interesting to see at which stage they bring on Godfrey. Very green, but better with the boot than Morgan.
Edit: they might also replace Moorby with Godfrey.

[Tim]

@Frank de Groot can tackle though.

[Stargazer]

The commentators seem to think Renton is keeping MMT on the bench, but last week MMT said himself he was still lacking the necessary match fitness for a start.

You've made the fatal mistake of putting value on what the commentators say.

de Groot looks so unco as a ball-carrier. A big work-on for the ABs.

Harmon has had a great 40 mins, but Damon doesn't always think so at the breakdown.

There isn't much between Moody and DeGroot.
Both good scrummagers.
Both pretty fuckin slow carriers.

De Groot is an absolute machine who loves carrying and smashing blokes. Legend.

I prefer him.
Seems to be a big hitter in defence than Moody + he's younger

[Stargazer]

Wondering why Jordie is now even kicking the ball when they go for a line-out. Surely Morgan can make those kicks?

[Bones]

Iose is schooling Frizzel.

Fuck I hope the Barretts have exhausted their "attacking" grubber arsenal by the time the RWC rolls around.

[Mattasaurus]

that right there is what shits me with Fakatava... does the good stuff then the unnecessary razzle dazzle (looks awesome when it comes off) that too often gives the ball away

[Bones]

Classic, Roigard with an open line passes it to Blackwell with an open line who nearly fucks it.

Time to bring on bread and butter Withy.

[BerhamporeNinja]

Yes Roigard!! Fakatava with a Faka fwd pass

[Bones]

You fucking morons. Milk the penalty, that was ridiculous playing it on the ground at the ruck.

Fakatava get the basics right before you try to be a superstar.

[Tim]

Paea jogging that one in.

[taniwharugby]

Comms sounded surprised Roigard burnt Paea...

I’m excited by Harry. He’s got a higher ceiling than Morgan.

NPC level!

[Stargazer]

Surely that was a knock-on by Moorby.

[Yeetyaah]

Wow Damon is awful that's a clear knock on 🤦
