<p>yep, lets give him a certificate!</p>

This is pretty entertaining considering the conditions .<br><br>
The conditions for the players that is, I'm in a pub waiting for my pork belly burger. I might get wet when I go to the car though.

<p>See I thought Osborne was looking well outclassed by the other outsides on the park. Conditions are tough but without bad finishing the Highlanders would be killing it.</p>

Naholo stripped the ball from Savea resulting in a knock on and then did very well to get that clearing kick in. He's had the better of the clash thus far.

[No Quarter]

Yeah, you've got to admire the way they put the ball through the hands despite the conditions. A lot of teams (especially up north) would shut up shop and play 10 man rugby with that kind of rain.

How the fuck the canes get an attcking scrum, leading to a Shields try after 3 referees miss Julian playing the ball on the ground and a ridiculous forward pass is beyond me.<br><br>
Rain makes for great leveller but it's certainly a tight game<br><br>
Hard to pick but a willing contest. Wet weather rugby no more relevant eh?

[No Quarter]

Fuck TJP....

[taniwharugby]

<p>HIghlanders right back in it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>17-14 3rd min of 2nd half</p>

<p>Did anyone rewind the hit on Vito when he was on the ground?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I couldn't, just looked wrong.</p>

[No Quarter]

James Marshall and Julian Savea are both shit. Chuck Woodward at the back and Laumape on the left wing please.

[Unite]

Coles looking very off in general play, still looks concussed to me.

[No Quarter]

Looked like a bit of a cheap shot but it was a cleanout. Only thing you could ping him for was leaving his feet, but that happens basically every ruck.

[No Quarter]

Oh fuck Hurricanes killer Marty Banks is on at 10. We're fucked.

[No Quarter]

Wow long advantage, Landers lucky to get the ball back.

[dingo]

<p>The All Black hooker misses his third or fourth line out target tonight.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Bit of a worry.</p>

[Stockcar86]

<p>Is it just me or does Mike Fraser look like Conrad Smith with aids?</p>

[dingo]

<p>In the race for the AB spots while its hard to tell what the AB selectors want. a guy not in contention, Brad Shields, would have appeared to out play loose forwards who were.</p>

[SammyC]

Aaron smith isn't a wet weather halfback

[Toddy]

<p>Fu*k I hate those slap downs. Should be a yellow imo.</p>

As I said, still looks crook to me...
