Where is Solomon?
Drua
Match thread
Highlanders
Solomon has been playing some good footy at fullback for Otago Uni. I reckon the priority will be getting him strong defensively and bulking up.
Don't like Lowe on the wing, last week he looked like the old Lowe. Hopefully proves me wrong but reckon Lennox would be a better shout.
Has Krusty the clown been in charge of the highlanders attack play this week?
The fuck is going on

Anyone else’s coverage gone?
Seems a bit on the piss. Blacked out once and then often blurry.

Yup. Glitching and all sorts. All these years later they still can’t nail it over there

Midfield scrum 30 odd out. And they kick it
Did you see the first 3 attack "moves"? Not sure I've seen anything like it.
Blowing a heck of a lot of opportunities. Get the feeling that's going to come back to bite us.

Attack is a generous description. It’s one off runners, pass to TT, or chip kick.
Those 4-5 phases by the Drua showed far more shape and composure than anything the landers have put out

Every week?

There was a.... wonderful... move off a lineout that involved a loosie running sideways and throwing a forward inside pass to a huge gap with no player.
Also the double pass back for a bomb.
No idea how the Landers are leading at the half but we will take it. The heat looks intense. Hopefully a better second half of footy coming up. Be nice to see us put the boot away a bit when we are inside their half
I get a bit frustrated with how casual JRK looks most of the time. Often looks like everything is in slow motion. No urgency.
One of the reasons I miss Hurley. He looks like he is going at 110% with everything he does.

Or all three at once
Fuck those two shots of the dressing rooms gave two fairly different impressions of how the teams of feeling
Well guys, we’ve got this very big and fast Fijian team and we’re playing in Fiji. The gameplan is to just kick it to them and see what happens….
Pick and go from number 8. 5m out from the line, smack bang in the middle of the field and we get turned over with the Drua also down a player.
Drua are the better team across the field and deserve to win this.
@Landers92 Drua aren't even playing well, highlanders are just pathetic.

It’s a Vikena masterclass today
Its a coaching masterclass today

Yeah the whole thing is pretty underwhelming. Tough watch
