When is Oli Haig's 60th birthday by the way?

Scary thing is he hasn't aged since he was 19.

I hope his nickname is Koro

Both teams have just enough of each other’s kit to be annoying. Wouldn’t call it a kit clash but the gold stripe on the shorts that the Landers have needed to be reined in.

Should be a penalty to the Canes there anyway.

The fact the canes play wasn't supporting his weight and had his hands on the ball not mentioned????

Gardiner is blind at the ruck....

We need to come up with something like what the blues did ignoring Beauden, but ignoring Fakatava

Jeez Fakatava can be a bit ordinary.

Canes goal line D has been very good through this period. I'd prefer it if we break out and relieve the pressure soon though

Man plenty of dropped balls from both sides. You’d expect better under the roof.

@SouthernMann he’s better when he doesn’t pass

Surely that’s advantage over. Harsh on Lowe there.

If only...

That’s an insane kick from Love

That's a fucking cross kick Beauds

Also Barrett’s ability to pass and offload is a big difference maker. The Canes outside backs get a lot of good ball

What a kick Love.

great try, bullshit adv

Far out Brayden Shields is on the field.

Wonder if Iose's headspace is messed when he doesn't wear headgear?

I'm serious though! Just a mental switch kinda thing.

Tangitau trying to put the team on his back

At that scrum penalty. I yelled out don't you dare to Fakatava taking a quick tap. Never trust that bugger

wtf were those lifters doing in the lineout. There is a serious lack of communication and confidence

Superb D Landers to finish there.

As wank and insipid as I can remember.

Poor standard this.

After such a great half Love only has 16 points.

I could only afford Moorby and he’s on 0.

I thought Cam would be well above 50 with all the running he’s made, as well as two tries.

Passing in super rugby is seriously inferior to what I have seen in the 6Ns and that’s by a distance atm

While there has been some good stuff, the Landers just look so directionless and lacking in confidence. The best decision is almost always not made.

Proctors pass in the last few minutes left to right was awful, had to turn his torso, threw it behind the player. Crap

Went and watched my club last week and their lineouts were atrocious compared to NPC, by some distance too.

Bet the defence was better than the six nations teams though

Used to think Lakai had a lot of potential but I dont see him being any more than a journeyman at test level.

Super rugby basic skills are embarrassingly bad -- the first few weeks everyone says rusty start yadda yadday.. I call bullshit, pro athletes i expect better,,, and the whole resting players crap when super rugby is only 14 rounds ffs BE BETTER

Oh play players 14 rugby games in a row then straight into international rugby? Do you mind me asking where you get your ideas from?

Oh so you’ve just put him in the same bracket as 95% of our loosies.
