What the fuck is going on

SouthernMann

We just saw the benefit of kicking it along the ground

Handling is very difficult in these humid conditions so I can understand the desire to kick

I’m going to have a brain aneurism. Chip kick number 3!

Chip kicks are fine. It's about when and how you do them

They’re consistently shit while 30m out from the try line. That is almost always a terrible decision

I'm not disagreeing. My point is chip kicks arent bad in and of themselves

Agreed

The handling skills are atrocious, like watching an under-10s passing drill.

jimmyb

The forwards are having a stinker so far

Tim

Highlanders could be in this, if they could hold on to the ball

Looks like a long night ahead

jesus this is bad -- we look like we're out on our feet already.... clueless on attack .. just hoping for individual brilliance and kick kick fucking kick

SouthernMann

Jaxk Taylor the pick of our guys so far.

KiwiMurph

JRK not impressing

Bones

They look really disorganised and just not interested.

SouthernMann

94% humidity there tonight

Duluth

The only person enjoying this game is Dave Rennie

Tim

@KiwiMurph I like him, but his error rate is seems to often be too high.

Canes4life

Super Rugby has been everything but Super tonight.

KiwiMurph

Taylor what a half from the lad

Bones

Go on Taylor, Lennox is playing better than I thought he could too.

Not a fan of Berry but at least he aint falling for that sort of shitfuckery

jimmyb

Two back rowers standing there staring at a ruck that’s under pressure and almost gets turned over. Ffs

Canes4life

Big Jim is having a shocker. Horrible from Tangitau.

jimmyb

The Reds have identified how short the landers get on defence after 3-4 rucks. The space is always there

Yeah it was good to watch, can see why JRK wanted to gift-kick it to them uncontested in such a good attacking position.

Bones

Pretty quality trolling playing Split Enz constantly

Will most of the guys in the team even know who Split Enz are?!

SouthernMann

Poor Rohan Wingham got a hospital pass

Tim

That was some rather shit defence. You could see that Highlanders were two players short after Reds had a few phases of slow ball. Huge gap was obvious out wide.
