@Bones said in Highlanders v Force:

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

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
