Should be a penalty to the Canes there anyway.

We need to come up with something like what the blues did ignoring Beauden, but ignoring Fakatava
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
@SouthernMann he’s better when he doesn’t pass
Also Barrett’s ability to pass and offload is a big difference maker. The Canes outside backs get a lot of good ball

Wonder if Iose's headspace is messed when he doesn't wear headgear?
Hahah good call.

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

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
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.
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.

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

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

No props scored runaway tries.

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?
@brodean said in Highlanders vs Hurricanes:
Used to think Lakai had a lot of potential but I dont see him being any more than a journeyman at test level.
Oh so you’ve just put him in the same bracket as 95% of our loosies.
I mean fuck that lineout right there, the lifters are dropping Haig before he even catches it

yes ... I literally don't see the issue with it., sure if a player has a niggle etc rest rehab etc.... but otherwise in my book if you're fit you play.
