Highlanders v Waratahs

The funny thing about the Oz teams is that they have plenty of talent - especially the Tahs - and with a bit of ball they can do good things. When Foley and Folau are going well with front foot ball, they look a different team to their recent shitness.
The Landers have just been unable to take advantage of opportunities - they had plenty of ball, but dropped it both times they had the Tahs under pressure. They're lucky to be one point back IMO.

They need to get Lima on. Banks is no threat to run, Tahs arent committing to the breakdown so need some inside running to be kept in check.
Tahs have played well.
Good points - especially about numbers at the breakdown. They've been playing wider and that might not be helping them.

@Rapido The term they use "not clear and obvious" is a cop-out if the footage shows the exact opposite.
Put it this way, if the LIons had been awarded that try against the ABs we'd be bitching and moaning.
An enjoyable game and O'Keefe has been good.

C;mon boys. No Aussie teams to be NZ teams this year

Pretty good half of footy. Tahs started slow as they usually do but have built into the game well. Ben Smith has made all the play for the Landers, great to see him running well.
Aaron Smith has made some mistakes but gee his pass is so superior to any other HB in the world, gives the receiver that extra yard of space. He's still my preferred HB to start, with TJP providing big impetus off the bench.
Really bad miss from Dixon for the Folau try, tried to take him high for some reason and was left grapsing at air.
Should be a great 2nd 40.

Is Marshall blind? Clear yellow.
