Ffs it’s all doom and gloom in here and it’s only been 40 minutes into the season and 13-12 at halftime, you’d think we were down by 20 by some of these messages.
A very simple gameplan on attack in the first half, almost dumbed down to make things a bit easier for Hastie and Robinson and not overwhelm them. Don’t think we can expect to win if we carry on with that gameplan though, expecting Millar and Fakatava to come on relatively early and open things up a bit.
Wouldn’t mind seeing Manson coming off his wing and getting busy, it isn’t NPC now fella, come in and get involved.
We are still in this, nothing silly, continue to make the tackles and we could come away with the W.
I'm generally stoked with how things are going. All we heard before the game was tahs tahs tahs. A better lineout throw and we were up by 2 or 7/9 at the break. Their biggest weapon is an up.and under, yet their million dollar man can't catch a cold.

@SouthernMann I had a look at the Tahs lineup before the game and was confused by all the optimism. 4, 5, 7, and 8 are all rather average.
-
Fakatava classic

Have read a lot of write ups over the last few days. Some average big city players get kudos, some good Highlanders players get ignored. We aren't full of All Blacks, but still have some decent players.

Yup Withy and Renton both go very well
-
@antipodean must be loving the addition of Tupou.
-
Earlier game was a superior watch for sure
-
That is one of the most woeful penalties I’ve ever seen. Angus Gardner needs to come off it. That’s pathetic
-
Dumb

Naeata off lasaqa on. Should be withy to 6. Might be our strongest trio until Howden or Haig are back.
Naeata looks like a 15-20min impact player at best.
-
That's a good pressure relieving kick by Robinson.
-
Would love to see Manson in space
-
And Fakatava just constantly puts his team under pressure. For a scrumhalf you'd think he be better at making passing decisions.
