@Darth-Sader looked like Taylor came from behind the last feet and then tackled him as he ran past the ruck 🤷♂️

You’re possibly right

Jamie Joseph is not the messiahs Highlanders fans want. We have gone backwards…
Hey hey hey! That’s awfully negative of you! The southerners won’t like that opinion!

Ths competition is exposing a couple of previously hyped coaches - Jamie Joseph and Vern Cotter.
And helping the reputation of a previously maligned one - Rob Penney.I'm curious to the changes in that saders coaching group from last year. They're not exactly convincing but apart from the chiefs the other kiwi teams are terrible. Crusaders are just relentless though.
It’s the fact they can sit back on years on winning and experience. When things go wrong they can simple go back to what they know. The highlanders don’t have that luxury

Remind me how McLeod made the ABs. He’s been so average this year.

@Bovidae said in Highlanders v Crusaders:
@frugby Yes, but he doesn't have top-end speed to be out wide. That will be exposed even more at international level. I'm blaming JJ for his backline selections in this game. He needs to make changes for the 2nd half.
Yup, he needs to be in closer to the action. In this game specifically. Need to get an actual outside back to play on the wing. Whaanga or Gilbert, just get them on.

Fuck these guys are actually thick
-
More brilliant defence made easier with some average attack options
-
ffs so predictable...

Mensa candidates going high a metre out from the try line instead of lower than the defenders.
-
Handling also very average
-
Watch this. They’ll concede an easy try.

Lio Willie needed to pass

It’s the defensive strategy of Otago and the highlanders for the past 2-3 years. It works really well
