Highlanders v Hurricanes

[Stargazer]

What is really strange about this replacement is that, apparently, Bird is fit to play, yet they chose to name a loosie on the bench at 19. Even if IWL was already under an injury cloud when they named the team, it's still weird.

Hunts out. Millar in

Fucking yes (not that Hunt is injured, but that we finally have a foster style injury enforced improvement).

[SouthernMann]

Fascinated to see whether Millar is worth the hype. I have held the opinion he could be a Noakes or Berquist.

Hype? I haven't seen any hype.

I'd take Noakes or Berquist over Hunt. That's all it is

[Bovidae]

Millar is a very good goal kicker, so that's a positive.

Dunedin rugby crowd is obsessed with Millar.

Ohhhh they're probably all from Tairei, just ignore those hillbillies.

First two lineout throws not straight. First set piece ball is kicked away.

[SouthernMann]

How was that. Penalty?

Aussie ref.. scrums.. real blind spot for them typically

[antipodean]

Holy hell Damon Murphy is just the worst referee running around.

Castle reckoned EDG changed his mind, but I didn't see it, thought it looked like Lomax just dropped his.

[Tim]

Good tackle from Savea. Looks bulkier?

[SouthernMann]

It just looked like deGroot demolished Lomax in the scrum penalty

Yeah exactly the same happened again.

[SouthernMann]

De Groot is doing an absolute job on Lomax

[Mattasaurus]

Murphy clearly doesn't know what a dominant scrum looks like...

[Bones]

Really like how Moorby just puts the hammer down on kick returns and doesn't sit back farting about.

Or players going off their feet at rucks.
Or players joining mauls in front of the last feet.
Or lineout throws that aren't straight.
Et fucking cetera.

The fluffybunny ruins games.
