Highlanders v Rebels
-
The best part of that Highlanders team is Umaga-Jensen at centre. He looked really promising in the midfield for Wellington last season. He is still very raw but up against English is a good time to give him a run - English is experienced but very much a journeyman at 13 (still better than Michael Collins though...)
-
one team playing like they are in the finals, the other playing like the Blues
-
nothing like seeing gas on the outside
-
scrappy play leading to t/o then they get it back with Hemopo just ripping it away and a nice score by Hammington
-
Walden chips it to Hodge to score under the sticks.
-
@donsteppa neither team seem overly keen on defence, not quite at the optional stage, but more reluctant defence!

@taniwharugby yeah interesting to see the highlanders miss the most tackles of any team.
