Highlanders Vs Chiefs

Damn. Not the way you want to finish the season on the last play like that but that sums the season up
-
That is just the dumbest possible play.

That sums up the Landers season....a bit of endeavor but no luck at all.

How did Holland go overall?

Tough season for the clan
Not sure where they go to from here
They need to fix their detail i’m not sold on their 10s or their loose forward mix -
Well done chiefs, good luck for the finals.
Hope the landers can hold on to some of the squad and grow together.... Bit of potential in there, really need to work on #s to the break down and get more than 1 dimension to their attack.

Well played Chiefs on the Minor premiership. Hopefully Tupaea bounces back okay.

They're not getting badly out-muscled (at least not when they've got most of their best players available) so there's plenty to build on.
Need to be smarter - and as you say, get more little things right.

Solid shift. Wasn’t a stand out by any stretch but him and Withy were the better landers forwards tonight. Those 2 are about to get some much deserved rest

Yep they are holding a lot of their squad, they will be ok I reckon.

Massive performance by Tupou Vaa'i.
Remember all those posts on here from folks who didn't rate him. That seems a long time ago.
Yeah it's almost like it was years and years ago.
Had to go and check but yes he is a 38 test All Black already, when did that happen

Yup. Experience can not be underestimated and that is also what we lack. A lot of X-factor players being injured and missed a lot of time. It all adds up.
A kick converted here, a kick converted there, a line out going to hand instead of an overthrow. It’s all small margins but reality is that’s where the 2025 squad is at. I’m confident next year will be different. Not expecting miracles, but expecting to be competitive again every week and get some more rub of the green.
