Highlanders v Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

I wonder when James Marshall is supposed to be back from injury. The Canes really need someone else at fullback. If the coaches are unwilling to move Jordie back to 15, then Marshall should be the man.

Three points is for losers...

Didn't the Hurricanes win the first round encounter with the Highlanders by taking a penalty right at the end to win the game?

[Tim]

How the hell is Tiatia starting a Super Rugby game?

Worse than Collins.

[Stargazer]

Messy, but a good try from Frizell.

[Stargazer]

Now TJP with the try!

Exciting game this!

[Tim]

TJP really good in those phases.

[Stargazer]

Only half heard the commentators. Has Buckman gone off for a HIA?

[Toddy]

@Stargazer looked like an achilles or a hammie

[Stargazer]

@Toddy Shit, hopefully it's not too bad.

The stadium really supports good open rugby being played. Good to watch, bet the players love it. Like playing hockey on turf instead of grass

[Chris]

For all the good things Chase Titia does play breaks down around him alot too many times momentum is lost.

Ben may is useless

[Toddy]

Looked like a knock on.

[gt12]

That’s a shit decision.

Always has been. If he wasn't a gym junky he'd never have been a prop. Easy to use strength against inferior opposition, but technical limitations show up very quickly at this level.

Not clear enough on my 4K TV

[Stargazer]

The problem is the "clear and obvious" bit that is necessary to overrule the on-field decision. It may have been a knock-on, but I don't think it was clear and obvious. So the on-field decision (try) stands.

[Toddy]

That's one of the reasons why he isn't off to the world cup.

I'll do the Ken Laban annouincement - The try was scored by Ash Dixon (Napier Tech Old Boys)
