Highlanders vs Blues

Ruru's clearance is just poor in general. It's a shame because he ticks most boxes but obviously that is a big one he needs to fix.

@taniwharugby said in Highlanders vs Blues:

@Duluth why would coaches say good things about him if he pissed them off?

Why would they not play him if they think he is good enough?

Just strikes me as odd, not necessarily on MOulds (just seems I am vociferous on his defence cos he is from Northland, if Apisai wasnt shit I'd be backing his case too) the fact we have that many coaches that rate Parsons so highly...as I said last week, one of the highalnders coaches mentioned Parsons was always excellent, so is that some of the data they see we dont that shows he is a beast or something?

But even so, still doesnt explain why in this day and age of rugby, when the bench is important, Parsons is played for such huge minutes so often (when whoever is on the bench)

I can tell you what stats they must be looking at; hit ups and line out throws won, because anyone not looking at stats can see he's NPC level.

This Nonu drum beating from the people on the mike is getting out of hand. Is he playing well? Sure. Is he “dominant” in every game. No.

[Stargazer]

Both teams looked exhausted at the end of the first half. The bench of both teams may be decisive for this game.

[Kirwan]

This is a great stadium, looks great from above.

@Stargazer it was pretty intense, if error strewn

[Stargazer]

Li again. Forward pass.

[Kirwan]

Seriously, how poor is Li?

[Machpants]

@Kirwan a bit of a contrast with the other 11 on the pitch

Li-ability

[KiwiMurph]

Excellent strength by Hemopo there.

[Bones]

King Hemopo.

[Stargazer]

@Bones Haha, stop it!

[Machpants]

Jesus ref is missing so much, how many forward passes

[KiwiMurph]

Think Highlanders have a chance to put Blues away here.

If we win, we'll have earned it

[African Monkey]

A try here could break us.

[Kirwan]

Good question Smithy, should be our penalty

Blues were lying all over it though.
