Tavatanawai looks slow.
You couldn't put him on the wing. A foot race between him and Leicester Faingaʻanuku would be a real battle

I'd be bringing on FF even with all his inconsistencies after the break as Lennox is fucking awful.
am picking things to get real ugly and the TV to get turned off by about the 55min mark......
FF is the opposite of what you want in a game like this. The Highlanders need composure and leadership

Not sure where any composure or leadership is liklye to come from ... Jack Taylor maybe..... but we need far quicker service from the rucks.

Taylor doesn’t seem like a leader. De Groot obviously can’t. We won’t get quick service with a backrow that’s allergic to cleaning out rucks because they’re rather get a carry
Considering what the Reds have shown, we are fortunate to be within 12. Which is fine.
Our attacking threats have been poor and theirs have been really good.
We aren't out of it. We just can't concede quicky.
Hasn't been a happy hunting fround. Last time we played there, got pantsed 31 zip.

I think Jack Taylor ooozes leadership. It is just he is only 22 and putting a responsibility like tjat on him now wouldn't be fair.

Australian teams have looked much better getting the ball wide into space than the NZ teams so far.
Early days in the season but the quality among the NZ sides is the worst I can recall for a long time.

Really? I can’t say I know much about him so I’ll take that. Agreed, leading a somewhat dysfunctional team at that age won’t help. Is he captain of the stags?

Withy is captain of the Stags.
From what I can see Taylor does a lot of behind the scenes stuff. Also a big hype man.
