Brumbies v Highlanders

[Kirwan]

Smith plays this game and the Clan win IMO

[Mattasaurus]

Restarts cost us the game ... both teams need to be hitting the tackle bags at training this week.

[KiwiMurph]

Another error by MMT....

[Kirwan]

Who was that? MMT, you dumb, dumb forward.

[Kirwan]

Old style score line.

[NTA]

Referees seem to have utterly forgotten about the preseason interpretation on latch player going to deck

[Kirwan]

Nareki, Renton and Freddy the best for the Clan.

[Stargazer]

Landers' attack was mostly fine; it's the defence that's terrible.

@Stargazer said in Brumbies v Highlanders:

I would go as far - that the attack was the best of the whole season for the landers, even without Smith.

[Stargazer]

@Mattasaurus Smith was missed for his leadership, but Fakatava had a really good game. Just a few mistakes, but he sparked the attack well.

[Kirwan]

@Stargazer option taking at times was not good, and Smiths kicking game was sorely missed. Would have taken a lot of pressure off of Freddy, who looked comfortable at ten.

[KiwiMurph]

Very enjoyable game.

Realistically that was a bloody good effort by the Clan.

Toole and Ikitau are in a different class to Paea and Gregory

[Kiwiwomble]

@Kirwan you think fakatava cost is it? I thought he distributed well, I think Lowe starts and we might have got over the line

[Kirwan]

@Kiwiwomble I think the things he didn't do were the problem. It allowed the Brumbies to target their defence out wider, and you played too much at times.
