@KiwiInLondon That is total cliche. We deserved to lose that... only luck saved us there.
Yes but the Highlanders never win those games. They just did.

@KiwiMurph loving this comp but i have got say another shitty non call against MP ..head contact and not even a card but at the end of the day goal kicking wins matches
Man of the match for the Landers JGB -
Mason played fantasticly? Is that a new word I don’t know about l?
-
And obviously, people will critique the Landers, but let's be fair here. Short turnaround after a brutal game against the Blues, two key injuries late in the week, Moana totally amped up for their first home game, culture round etc.
That whole Millar injury also fucked us, because we'd just subbed Robinson. Looked like we lacked direction too.
They will know that was not good enough, but to get out with the win is something.

Yes? Fantastically is a word

I’ll hide my head in shame

Landers were fairly shit tonight, and possibly got lucky with the Millar call, but bugger me, thought BOK only refereed one side at the ruck. Moana the better side, but jesus, Savea was getting away with blue murder.
Come on, you’re starting to sound like Waratah supporters when McCaw played

Want to see a back three of Hurley, Manson and Tangitau in a couple of weeks. Hope we retain Hastie and nine and keep Faktava for impact

Manson has loads of upside, but his defence is awful. I'd be nervous about that back three to be honest. Gilbert is not perfect, but he brings stability and a decent kicking game.

Don’t you think might be too small of a back three?

Yeah I go back and forward around what is best. Gilbert annoys me. But he does his job. Tangitau and Hurley should be picked. Then it is just who the third is. The stability of Gilbert is useful in an inexperienced backline. Nareki's return will be good for the balance.

Nah. Tangitau is nearly 100kg. Manson 90. Hurley will always be a midget. A tough as anything midget.

@KiwiMurph Hastie I thought was subbed for a reason. He slightly over does his running game, but his massive left boot is extremely helpful in this side. Both will be needed throughout the season... but gee, how was he rated below Arscott, who looked like a small child when he came on?

Geez that's rugby. I am knackered watching it, players must be almost dead. The Highloanders must feel like they can do with a holiday. For them how good was Holland again, Big Jim (again) and I have to disagree with a few, I thought Gilbert was bloody good. And Hastie? I knew he was ok, but by the powers he was bloody good. MP were not rubbish either, Ardie is a monster sometimes . Great game.

Feel vindicated about the missed 50/22?
