Moana Pasifika v Highlanders
-
Highlanders are very lucky to have won that.
-
Any other season the highlanders would have blown that. Good lessons from it and more importantly, a win. Great start to the season
-
Score 5 tries and lose. Argghhhhh
-
hands off twice and no call again and again
BOK was bloody average as were the landers.... but we got the W
-
-
@KiwiInLondon That is total cliche. We deserved to lose that... only luck saved us there.

Landers were fairly shit tonight, and possibly got lucky with the Millar call, but bugger me, thought BOK only refereed one side at the ruck. Moana the better side, but jesus, Savea was getting away with blue murder.
I wish he got away with that much in the black jersey

Yes but the Highlanders never win those games. They just did.

@KiwiMurph loving this comp but i have got say another shitty non call against MP ..head contact and not even a card but at the end of the day goal kicking wins matches
Man of the match for the Landers JGB -
Mason played fantasticly? Is that a new word I don’t know about l?
-
And obviously, people will critique the Landers, but let's be fair here. Short turnaround after a brutal game against the Blues, two key injuries late in the week, Moana totally amped up for their first home game, culture round etc.
That whole Millar injury also fucked us, because we'd just subbed Robinson. Looked like we lacked direction too.
They will know that was not good enough, but to get out with the win is something.

Yes? Fantastically is a word

Come on, you’re starting to sound like Waratah supporters when McCaw played

Want to see a back three of Hurley, Manson and Tangitau in a couple of weeks. Hope we retain Hastie and nine and keep Faktava for impact

Manson has loads of upside, but his defence is awful. I'd be nervous about that back three to be honest. Gilbert is not perfect, but he brings stability and a decent kicking game.

Don’t you think might be too small of a back three?

Yeah I go back and forward around what is best. Gilbert annoys me. But he does his job. Tangitau and Hurley should be picked. Then it is just who the third is. The stability of Gilbert is useful in an inexperienced backline. Nareki's return will be good for the balance.
