Highlanders vs Moana

[Landers92]

It’s crazy what happens when we actually win line outs…

@Grooter

Great ball.

Jonah Lowe the goat

Deserved that try after that turnover. Might be his best game in a highlanders jersey

[Bones]

Pretty happy if Pellegrini chooses this game to show he's human.

[SouthernMann]

This is a good game of NPC rugby

[Steven Harris]

@Bones bring JGB back on ..!

[Steven Harris]

@SouthernMann well summed up

[Bones]

Got to wonder what fucking breakdown work highlanders are training. It's either go straight to ground providing no security or crouch down and look up before meekly getting blown away or walked around.

Lasaqa has been a real bright spot this season

[Steven Harris]

Lazy from Tuipulotu ..just needed to keep on his feet

Can't see him getting higher honours at 7 only, time to look at covering midfield also.

He's going to be a heck of a player.

With the injuries we've had JRK and Faktava must look around the backline and thing who is going to support us.

[Bones]

That's the Lowe we know.

[African Monkey]

Yes! Great finish Fa'ilagi! (Bones probably likes him because he's Samoan).

[Landers92]

And there’s the difference. We had the chance to build pressure and took the 3 and missed. They had a chance and plugged the corner, built pressure and scored. So much of this is a mental battle at this stage of the season and we are struggling

[Mattasaurus]

no lift

[Bones]

Only the highlanders could concede a try out wide to through the hands immediately after the opposition had their whole team involved in a maul 🤣

I just don't think our guys personally believe they are good enough to win. They think the opposition is better than them.

Yeah the mental aspect has really got them defeated. Hopefully a win here boosts spirits but it’s looking like a hard ask
