Highlanders v Reds

[Kirwan]

Reds have a great attitude, hard to beat.

[KiwiMurph]

What a finish.

Reds didn't get the rub of the green but on the other hand they had their chances and blew it.

Entertaining game.

[Damo]

A Smith will be missed in Dunedin that is for sure.

Greatest ever Highlander? I think so.

[Mattasaurus]

Not the highest skill level.. but way less of a cripple fight this week. Officiating as ordinary as usual for 2023 SRP.
Renton Harmon were huge

[Kirwan]

Tate head knock was the turning point

Compared to the shower of shit we saw last week this was champagne rugby.

Reds stay seventh, on 24 pts, Highlanders into eighth with 23 pts. Force could get up to 27 pts after tonight's game.

[Tordah]

The Reds are playing some nice rugby, they looked a lot better than the Highlanders.

[antipodean]

That last try made Grealy look stupid - he didn't take anyone in defence.

[Kirwan]

@Tordah that first half try was magic.

[Bovidae]

That was justice as the Highlanders should have had 2 scrum penalties at the end.

The Highlanders made ground against them often and at times with ease. Better handling and they've scored more.

There's talent in the Reds a competent coaching group should make more competitive.

[KiwiMurph]

Harmon has to be considered for ABs to see how he goes at test level pre RWC. Monster year for him.

[Mattasaurus]

Maybe Scot Gregory just wanted to add to the drama

[SouthernMann]

It is going to be bloody good going to bed tonight with a win.

[booboo]

Watching behind, so don't know result, but have I mentioned Pickerill has no feel for the game?

[Dan54]

Too be honest, Clan chances of making finals is pretty slim, and to be honest don't deserve it.

[Mattasaurus]

Gawd Smiths Rugby IQ is going to be a massive loss to the landers..... really need Fakatava to mature his game management and option taking next year...

[Bovidae]

Frizell was much more involved when he moved to lock as he wasn't playing so wide. He missed a couple of bad tackles before then.

ESPN says 21 tackles with no misses for Harmon.

[booboo]

How is Freddy Burns nor starting for the Pomgolisns. He's particularly good.
