The Fakatava shit is so perplexing, you would think the complete lack of urgency would mean he's making considered decisions. Just pick up the urgency if you're not going to use your brain man.

Like Walker-Leawere for us I think some players just don’t have brains unfortunately.

Geez force playing like they're out on their feet in the 75th minute

Nice work Cam taking the line on there and getting an offload away for Nareki who then rips it to Tangitau. Lovely

Good shift EDG

Another shit clean out

Howden x2 terrible clean outs in a row

Lasaqa has been great today. I would say best on field for the Highlanders with Jim a close second

Fuck this team does the softest shit sometimes

Defence is great when lined up, but as soon as there's a man out of place it's atrocious.

That’s a superb try by Bridge, set up by Beale. What a combo.

Super try started off by Nareki, finished by Tangitau.

Sometimes these games of touch are fun to watch

cynical slowing of the ball in the lead up should be YC....

Lennox damn near almost bombed that by being greedy

Am I correct to say that was a crocodile roll?

@Landers92 was an attempted one...

Some very soft missed tackles, can't afford them.with 1 man down

Take the 3...

Good on ya Reesjan mate

FFS how long does BOK need to give the penalty.. its not like he was unsighted

Also saved by force weirdly cutting back in so often, instead of just one more pass to the outside....

It would have been a very broken field if we got the ball out. Would have preferred that.

Lasaqa again. What a weapon

We were just saying that same thing here... bizarre

There’s our vikena not straight

Well thank god they won but there are some serious systematic issues with the gameplan and the continuous brain farts

well we stumbled our way to the W

I definitely take that with how inconsistent we were. A much needed W.

Lasaqa man of the match for me. What an absolute weapon. Would like to see him stay at 7 and get Withy in at 8 over Broughton.

Solid from JRK and Millar. Lowe looked good until the injury, hope it isn’t too bad. Pasitoa with a very solid cameo.

Tangitau is an All Black in waiting.

Tangitau needs to do a lot of work on his D for a black jersey

@Mattasaurus he does. All wingers do but he still still deserves one

If we picked Jonah Lomu because of his defence, he would never have been picked. We need try scorers and counter attacking weapons in the ABs, Tangitau needs to be picked.

Don't underestimate how well your boys went in the end, they had 3 ABs or ex ABs on park, had none in last while so boys did ok.

Second half was better, but the deficiencies start in team selection. Several desperately in need of a rest.

Withy just isn’t doing it for me. Not an 8, and not as dynamic as Lasaqa and Casey. Didn’t really look in control as a skipper at the end there either.

If Renton is back next week then I’d slot him at 20.

Strange tactics by the Force at the end with a numerical advantage.

How about a chip and chase

Superb crowd mate. Afternoon footy. Hopefully they pull out a win to have you fizzed for the octagon

Nice to break my Landers drought. Dunedin has been awesome for the last couple of days. Now pissing up at Eureka.

Shit Jonah Lowe went good eh.

Just caught up on this one. Bit scrappy, but realistically I think if you fixed the lineout that would have been a pretty comfortable victory.
Lasaqa was good too eh?

Lowe is going to be a loss if that injury keeps him out for long , he looks more and more comfortable at 13.
