<p>See I thought Osborne was looking well outclassed by the other outsides on the park. Conditions are tough but without bad finishing the Highlanders would be killing it.</p> -

Naholo stripped the ball from Savea resulting in a knock on and then did very well to get that clearing kick in. He's had the better of the clash thus far. -

Yeah, you've got to admire the way they put the ball through the hands despite the conditions. A lot of teams (especially up north) would shut up shop and play 10 man rugby with that kind of rain. -
How the fuck the canes get an attcking scrum, leading to a Shields try after 3 referees miss Julian playing the ball on the ground and a ridiculous forward pass is beyond me.<br><br>
Rain makes for great leveller but it's certainly a tight game<br><br>
Hard to pick but a willing contest. Wet weather rugby no more relevant eh? -
Fuck TJP....

<p>HIghlanders right back in it.</p>

<p>17-14 3rd min of 2nd half</p> -
James Marshall and Julian Savea are both shit. Chuck Woodward at the back and Laumape on the left wing please.

I couldn't, just looked wrong.</p></blockquote>
Looked like a bit of a cheap shot but it was a cleanout. Only thing you could ping him for was leaving his feet, but that happens basically every ruck. -
Oh fuck Hurricanes killer Marty Banks is on at 10. We're fucked.

Wow long advantage, Landers lucky to get the ball back.

<p>Is it just me or does Mike Fraser look like Conrad Smith with aids?</p>
