@Bones it was immediately after he realised it wasn't where he first thought it was

rucks are a shambles...

landers cleaning is woeful again...

Ref allowing all sorts of shanaghans from both sides

The first and second cleaners are so shit.

Yeah some very loose rugby, but that was well taken by the Force on the stroke of halftime

Fakatava almost always makes the worst decisions when it comes to which direction to pass. The amount of times we’ve been caught short by passing to players with no support

Nareki you twat.

Directly off your shit option carried out shitly, then you go for a miracle steal and get swallowed up by the ruck and leave defence exposed. Yank him

No locks, negative decisions on attack. Same old shit.

We’ll probably still win this game but I’ve seen enough.

The players just aren’t executing. Aimless kicking by Fakatava and then one from Nareki to end the half and it turns into points for the force. Coach killer. Sort the lineout out and put the boot away and we win this, problem is we dont look like we can execute today. Frustrating

You can’t blame the hookers when they have to throw to midgets. We are getting beaten at the jump.

You have an Argentinian international sitting in the stands, Tengblad might be taller than Holland, and we choose two midgets.

Everytime we get on attack we look for the chip kick. These piston wristed gibbons can’t tackle, keep it in hand.

Landers just rinsing and repeating there recent seasons "form".. moments of individual brilliance on attack followed up lack luster defense... just feels like there is no leadership .. no resolve in the defensive line.

How about a chip and chase

Agree. The balance is never going to be good when you’ve got one shortish lock, 2 6s, and a small 7 and 8 on the field

And to Jamie Joseph. You’re the man who narrowly missed out on the All Blacks.

Fix this shit.

JJ sulking in the training shed again, giving them the silent treatment.

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

They just showed him giving them a spray?

No sound coming out of his mouth, literally not one word.

TT putting chip kicks in on counter attack. It’s clearly the game plan. A fucking woeful one

TT with an aimless chip kick.. ffs play to your strengths

Jeez Hastie using his hands to drag the ball to the back so much...

Can see how this will play out.... dumb option followed by dumb option followed by basic skill errors and what appears to me to be no urgency or will to go to war for each other.... hard to see the JJ influence on this team currently

@antipodean said in Highlanders v Force:

If they lose at home to the Force, then that's the season done.

I laugh when trolling actually start being accurate

The fucking fucking kicking

Another example of Fakatava shit decision making. Rushing the blind to players out of position.

FF inexplicably switches right back into the whole force defensive line with the receiver not expecting it at all.

The broken play was great until glacier Fakatava got involved.

His initial snipe blind was nice and then out of no where he wants to switch the way of attack and it goes to a flat footed player who then knocks it on. Unreal

Can not wait for Pledger to be back next season

Not one of those force offside players retreated.

Lovely try there. JRK nice vision. Finally a kick paying off

Well that justified the last 30 chip kicks we’ve seen

Tavatavanwai, incredible leading up to that try

TT looks so much better with the ball in hand rather than kicking it.... who would have thought?

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.

BOK is so fucking average...his matches always have horrendously officiated rucks

Hey hey hey, none of those crazy ideas around here thanks

That was good

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
