Highlanders v Drua

[African Monkey]

@Landers92 I found it interesting for what it's worth haha. Crazy tough preparation and it shows the difficulties the PI nations still have financially. Most teams spend about 2 days for overseas fixtures (maybe longer in Perth).

Still, like the Jaguares said with their tough schedule when they were in it and I'm sure the Drua will say the same, they're just happy to be there.

@Landers92 they were already in Dunedin yesterday if you check their Instagram as it shows them having captain's run under the roof ( seems as tho it's thier fans that have flown over this morning!

Interesting. I wonder if my mate has his wires crossed and they are flying a flight of fans over. I’ll be sure to let him know. Cheers for that mate!

Disregard my above message everyone haha

[African Monkey]

@Grooter Haha,maybe it was their fans training for them?

[Landers92]

Win this and we are in, it’s as simple as that. Hopefully the boys turn up and are fizzed for this one, destiny is in their hands and if we had been offered to be in this spot about 4-6 weeks ago we have taken it for sure. Let’s see what we’ve got!

Goooo the Landers

[Landers92]

What a great start but fuck me that was the most Te Hiwi thing ever

[SouthernMann]

Really impressive start and then the man with soap on his hands Jake Te Hiwi drops it.

[Duluth]

Great pass

[Machpants]

Highlanders could really do with one power carrier

[Canes4life]

Another raid and no result, Landers have started strongly. Nareki looking good on the left.

[SouthernMann]

Interesting clash between the two 10s. Faleafaga was selected ahead of Armstrong-Ravula for the NZ U19s in 2022

[Canes4life]

Lol what's Te Hiwi doing??

[Landers92]

What is Jake Te Hiwi doing. There’s an overlap with Nareki on the outside, he decided to step in, gets tackled then throws a pathetic offload. His game kills me. Hes NPC level

[Machpants]

That's a power runner, awesome

[Machpants]

Fakatava defending well against big Fijians

[Canes4life]

Hahah what a falcon.

[Machpants]

Great defence, tamatamanawai is exceptional

[Landers92]

Great start by Fakatava and Tavatavanawai.

Te Hiwi is killing any momentum we have when on attack. He needs to adjust asap or else I wouldn’t be surprised if we Whaanga is on at half time

[Machpants]

Awesome stuff about the fans and the welcome
