The Silver Fern

I know it's only round 2 but I would suggest ABs need to move on from Mark Telea at wing. ABs need more dynamism out wide.

Caleb Tangitau says I have some things to work on, but shit I can be dynamic

Jeez the former Blues in the Landers must have been stoked.

It wasn't just a tough performance. We scored the better tries

@kiwiinmelb said in Highlanders v Blues:

Hurley with ball in hand looks a lot like nrl fullback Ryan papenhuyzen

He has a massive I don't give a shit how big you are approach to his game

I thought we'd be a shout. Doing it with 13 men is just fucking insane

One of the greatest victories in our history

@Machpants said in Highlanders v Blues:

If blues wins this is on Highlanders coaches, for replacing brown with someone that meant oldies scrums

There was no one else? De Groot injured, Ma'u failed his HIA

Jack Taylor you absolute fucking ripper

We go to 13 players?

Golden oldie scrums coming up?

Three cards in two games. This will kill us

And we are about to lose DLB to the bin and game over. Will be a Blues victory now

@KiwiMurph said in Highlanders v Blues:

Blues won't even make the 6 team playoffs

They are cooked this season

Just playing two of the best teams in the comp first up...

That is not a rolling maul try!

Fuck rolling mauls

Where's Gilbert from and did Schumacher ever visit that town?

He once did skids out the back of Macleans Island

Blues are a shadow of the 2024 team

What's missing? Ioane and the halfback that's better than ginge?

I think rule changes hurt Vern ball.

Also - Landers are clearly better under Joseph than under Dermody.

I've been amazed at how many pundits have just written the Landers off on the basis of other teams will be better.

Even after last weeks game. Everyone lauded the Tahs, then just said, yeah Landers, no wonder they lost

New Zealand's best openside flanker Jim Tavatavanawai to the rescue

Can see us conceding before half

Tangitau should have been released. Bullshit no call
