    @booboo i do enjoy your echo commentary

    Got to share my reactions with somebody. I'm sure it's amusing for those who know what's happened.

    Yeah. But he's way better than Smith

    @booboo Well as he going to Japan, he will be ignored as such. He has really only played one good game for the Clan anyway.

    Fakatava keeps Highlanders in the hunt

    Fakatava keeps Highlanders in the hunt

    Folau Fakatava kept the Highlanders’ playoff hopes alive and sent his great mate out with a massive smile on his face last night. Fakatava sent...

    Bloody hell I enjoyed that game and the next best thing to smith winning it with a try is fakatava, his comment when they hugged in the line up “I got you brother”…everyone knew the brief

    Hunt miles better at 15, his break before failing to feed Gilbert on the wing was very good

    Burns much better, he’s showing why you can’t just parachute into the comp, you need to learn how it works

    Renton and Harmon huge, frizzel might actually be a better lock

    Fuck im going to miss smith

    Haven't watched much super rugby this year. Don't think I had watched the landers at all. Had to tune in for this game. I was like who is this first five sounds like a bar/bottle shop name.

    Renton and Harmon I thought were great.

    Fakatava brilliant finish. Great game.

    That simple exit from the 22 in the first five minutes by the Clan (Burn's kicked it well into Red's territory) was a thing of beauty. I wondered why I was clapping and realized that Kiwi first-fives are so inept at such a mundane and basic thing.
    Harmon is the best openside in NZ.

    The Landers haven’t quite had the season they would’ve hoped, but Harmon has been one of the standout players. His workrate is high, low error rate, hits with a bit of sting.

    Criminal that Hunt didn’t pass to Gilbert after making such a good break.

    @Bovidae said in Highlanders v Reds:

    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.

    Was it last week or the week before that Frizell played at lock. I thought he played really well in that game.

    I actually think Makalio was more to blame. Went low without any arms.

    @Kirwan can't find a clip of it sorry. Was late in the first half though I think.

    To be fair he was definitely going in low and I think you could justifiably argue it down to penalty only.

    But you'd need to have a look first to do that.

    @KiwiMurph I think Makalio was pretty reckless going in with no arms but he was super low. Frizell then went in shoulder first right on top of Vest' head. Was surprised at the time that Frizell didn't cop a yellow. Could have argued one for Makalio too. It happened at 29.21 in the first half but can't find it in any replay.

    @Tim Would like to see it from the other side,too. Did he hit Frizell's head with his shoulder?

    Edit: looking at that clip, the answer is "no", I think.
