A win here would be a huge solid for the other NZ teams. Guess it ain't happening without their two best though.

Highlanders have won 6 of their last 7 against the Brumbies.

@Duluth thanks for the jinx

The Highlanders need to bring out the camouflage kit for good luck.

@Duluth thanks for the jinx

Yup this will be a weekend to remember for Ozzie, two victories against kiwi sides

Reverse Jinx

Come on the Highlanders, time to help the Crusaders and Blues thanks.

This may get ugly this afternoon .... The pack needs to match them up front... should do in the loose....and FF needs an absolute blinder... for us to have any chance.... feel like its go to be a schooling for FF from Mr White unfortunately

Gregory first touch a kick out on the full.

Jeez some of these Highlanders are utter battlers

first facepalm for the afternoon... Gregory is so average

Oh my god, he passed it straight to him

Refreshing to see a player penalised for that.

@KiwiMurph certainly wasn't been pinged last night

@Mattasaurus Yeah some players take the piss

@KiwiMurph some refs are incompetent

11 has been busy

Someone tell @Chris-B Horan just said he's been really impressed by Paea this season.....

How is that not a yellow? Brumbies killed that with back to back penalties

Frizell looking busy so far....
