@Tim Good call Leon - TJ has gotten better every game at 13 (that's his 4th game).

I can confirm it was Luke Whitelock that got brushed by TJ Faiane for Nanai's 2nd half try.

That's the best game Faiane has ever had in Super Rugby.

@SammyC said in Blues v Highlanders:

Master stroke by MacDonald to have 2 all black props on the bench

It paid off in the end.

So happy with that win.

Great game.

3 fucking years.

Some cracking tries.

Aaron Smith at 9 vs Blues 9s is night and day.

Tuipulotu was a monster off the bench. Props too. Otere with some nice touches.

Nonu is old and slow but he did straighten nicely at the death. Wiley.

Was that Luke Whitelock that Faiane ran straight through for Nanai's 2nd half try?

Plummer is settling in well.

Banks punting is really impressive - jeez he gets some distance.

@Machpants said in Blues v Highlanders:

Jeez is there anyone at the game, apart from the team?

Friday games at Eden Park never draw well. Not surprised.

@Kirwan id like to see Macdonald give Grooby a run at some point. That boy can distribute.

Akira Ioane gets the maul turnover.

9 really holds this Blues team back. Whoever it is.

Akira with the turnover.

Beautiful try!

Telea has no idea what to do after making a break.
