NZ teams and their reluctance to go for the drop goal.
Well well
Should have done it inside their 22 a few minutes ago. 40 metres out is never easy.

That sucked. Good game of rugby though. A lot of should haves...

@SouthernMann looking forward to next week, Ajay and Josh Bartlett should definitely stay in the 23

Agreed. He’s actually a bloody good player with ball in hand. Has been injured a lot and has the case of the dropsies but good potential

Landers created plenty of opportunities , some poor options, pushed passes etc.... cost them

Aumua just had to throw it in straight. A lucky escape
I thought Canes might have taken 3 instead of gone for the line
Lack of a decent kicker? Made sense, at least we would have forced them under the posts

How the fuck did they not get penalized for that head high, that was deadset coat hanger. Woeful from the ref, touchies and TMO. Unreal actually.
Good game overall. Well done to the canes. Need to retain ball a lot better. On to next week

Didn't the comms say the ref missed it so the TMO couldn't intervene? Back in the old days the touchie would have raised his flag

@KiwiMurph if your saying that Blackadder has limited physical impact then you have rocks for brains…

I thought they looked devoid of solutions towards the end. No clear pattern of play. Slow ball from rucks to forwards standing still.
Didn't take the option to attempt a drop goal when they were in a better position, and like McAlister went for a hail mary miles out.

I find the lack of first phase strike play from the backline concerning for the highlanders. At lot of it was static and lacked go forward outside of the individual efforts of a few players. We don’t offer any uncertainty to opposition defense
