Highlanders V Brumbies Super Bang Bang quarter finals

[antipodean]

<p>The weather here is miserable and looks like getting worse. Pleased I didn't get any tickets.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Kick chase and ability to hold the ball will win tonight. Clan's scrum and lineout better be up to scratch.</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>Given the Clan's shit hot backline, it's hard to see that rain can help them.</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>especially when they get to play in that air-conditioned dry FB Stadium most weeks...they're feckereded</p>

[reprobate]

The brumbies play shit rugby. Jeez I hope get pumped.

[Mattasaurus]

Haven't been this nervous since rwc final

[Gunner]

What an awful start to the coverage from fox sports. <br><br>
Very Gould like with that spin doctor voice over bullshit.<br><br>

[No Quarter]

Turning down a certain 3 in a QF in the wind and rain. Not sure I agree!

[No Quarter]

Faddes! Ugh

[Chris B.]

<p>Slightly mistimed pass from Ben Smith blew a try, I reckon.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Faddes, you drongo!</p>

[Glath]

<p>Faddes has been a bit shit since the June break. Not sure what's up with him.</p>

[gt12]

Who else saw that coming?

[Tordah]

<p>basic mistakes</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>Lealiafano misses a handy kick - though I thought they'd pump it into the corner and try a lineout drive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sopoaga - bad dropout and back we come.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Early nerves!</p>

[gt12]

Btw: I know it's raining, but what's the crowd there? Is this not the finals? And, would this not be a sell-out if played in Dunedin? I'm not sure what my point is except fuck Australia.

[Mattasaurus]

Little tough... but those calls favour attacking teams...

[Gunner]

Fuck the Brumbies and their bullshit of using the scrum to try milk penalties. <br>
Use the fucking ball and play some rugby losers.

[gt12]

Wtf? Even my JP coms are questioning that call. How the fuck did Hohneck take that down??

[Gunner]

Jeez the Highlanders have started pretty poorly by their standards.

[Toddy]

<p>Angling in wasn't it?</p>

[gt12]

My god. Get your fucking set-piece going landers! You fucked our shit up last week, so don't fuck this one up!
