Highlanders vs. Blues

[hydro11]

No clue what a tackler is meant to do in that situation.

[Mattasaurus]

Penalty seems harsh there.... but handled well i guess

[Tim]

Holy shit ref!

[Mattasaurus]

Thought there was a few blues going straight off their feet there but a good try

Nutbrown a little rattled. I stil haven't seen the what the lineout penalty was...

[KiwiMurph]

Awesome tackle rieko on fekitoa.

[Mattasaurus]

@KiwiMurph

He got it that time but i feel he tries that way too much and gets shown up a little too often. ..such a big bloke would be great to see some better technique and just smash some guys

[KiwiMurph]

Good first half by the Blues but doubtful whether they can close the deal given the history.

Very impressed by the two locks GCT and Scrafton.

Yeah he does it a lot, but he pulls it off most of the time.. he's been doing it since school days and so does his brother..
Gets so many turnovers that way

[Stargazer]

It's all on now. 20-20. First players coming off the bench.

[Mattasaurus]

Nice seeing all the ABs starting to really put their hands up for the lions squad.

... and Buckman!

[KiwiMurph]

TJ seems to take excitement when the Blues make an error - fuck he's a knob.

[Tim]

Shocking not to be a card there.

[Gunner]

Has SBW got strapping tape covering up a sponsors logo on the collar?
Poor form by the Landers crowd booing him onto the field too I thought.

Who's the sponsor? Alcohol I assume?

[Stargazer]

@Nepia Spot on.

[Hooroo]

That makes me like him heaps more......

I don't care what everyone says Stargazer, you're a funny bugger

[Gunner]

@Nepia that's what my initial thought was, haven't seen who the sponsor is yet though.

Weird if so. Since when did a players religious beliefs dictate what can and cant be shown on his jersey....

[mariner4life]

@Nepia but he's Muslim?

Wait got it, right you are
