Highlanders vs Chiefs

[Donsteppa]

Different season, same old Fekitoa under pressure

7 - 3 to the Chiefs.

[Tim]

Sign that French contract buddy.

[Stargazer]

Fekitoa, what a tool! It may have been ASmith's pass that was intercepted, but it was the result of that stupid flick backwards from Feki. Do that kind of fancy stuff when you're leading by 17 points or more!

[Stargazer]

Fekitoa looks like he's trying too hard ...

Was that a high tackle from Fekitoa?

He'd be third best of the current Auckland centres

[Tim]

LOL!

[Chris B.]

Jesus - who tipped Ta$man's James Lowe as top try scorer @Me.

At this rate he's going to get about a thousand!

[Donsteppa]

Highlanders backs gifting tries at will...

[Stargazer]

Shit, BFA! Doesn't look good!

I have a few concerns for fekitoa ,

With the emergence of new young talent , I think he will get overtaken in the pecking order

[antipodean]

Faddes running sideways and throws a shit pass.

[Tim]

Pretty scrappy so far. Li looking very sharp.

[Stargazer]

That was a very average first half.

[Stockcar86]

I forgot Hammett was on the Highlanders coaching staff now, before picking them to win

[Bones]

Fekitoa and Smith look to have formed a new comedy duo over the summer break. Can deal with it from Fekitoa but when Smith is missing tackles, spraying kicks and throwing bullshit passes all over the place then it's going to heavily effect the time...See Sopoaga's numbnuts cross kick when there was a 6 on 3 outside him.

Bugger about BFA.

[JayCee]

Highlanders all look like Fekitoa, trying to hard, except Li - he's looking decent.

[KiwiMurph]

Lots of helter skelter - very little accuracy. Aaron Smith needs to shave that moustache. Squire looked good til he dropped that ball. Seu looks bulked up. Ben won't be doing accounts for a while.

[Chris B.]

Highlanders making most of the play, but lacking accuracy and getting burned. Aaron Smith sort of symptomatic of their game - lots of endeavour, some good stuff, but too many mistakes.

Chiefs pushing the envelope with penalties on defence - bin wasn't far away for someone.

On balance, the Chiefs not really worth their lead - but, Highlanders imbued with Christmas spirit.

[Tim]

Is Aaron Smith the new Steve Devine?

[Bones]

Yeah liking the look of Seu again. And I don't think Bird is outta the frame for the ABs, hope he keeps his form up. TKB is noticeably quicker at the breakdown than previous seasons so that's good to see.

The highlanders... hmmm... Thompson is looking to pick up where he left off last season! I think he's another who could be a dark horse for the ABs, another for that centre/wing stable.
