Super harsh call on Jim

jimmyb

You see that kinda shit carded in the NH but seriosuly harsh

Torian

Smart rugby player too is Tangitau

jimmyb

Why the hell did Kellaway let that go into touch?

SouthernMann

Time for a scrum penalty and a yellow card

KiwiMurph

All from Tangitau's brilliant 50-22

Landers92

What are this Aussie group up to

taniwharugby

@KiwiMurph not sure it was worth a look IMO.

KiwiMurph

I do wonder if Lennox is on the radar for higher honours

KiwiMurph

Tahs insistence on playing Jorgensen at fullback is really fucking weird

@Landers92 said in Highlanders v Waratahs:

An all Australian referee group. ref, touchies and TMO. Niiiiice. How do they decide that

They've done a good job so far tbf

Tahs are an enigma. On paper they shouldn't be this poor.

Landers92

Awful option from Lennox there

I wouldn't complain if he bolted in over Ratima or Christie

jimmyb

Well 40mins of largely non-dipshit rugby from the highlanders for a v v long time

Looked like a ruck had formed?

SouthernMann

Lennox to me is an ok halfback and an ok outside back. Shouldn't be enough.

Yep and it was a second go too.

Dropkick Murphy just making shit up and ignoring blatant shit to harm the landers

Bones

Just the TT card should have seen him yoinked immediately. Even if you imagine TT didn't do everything spot on, it was just a bog standard ruck! They weren't going to even come close to scoring.

Torian

@SouthernMann I would be up watching the early kicks off against URC teams if a true southern man like Lennox was involved

Bones

Anyway, where the fuck did the brilliant attacking structure in the first 20 come from and where the fuck did it go?

SouthernMann

Really stokdd that a simplified lineout has worked well

Bones

How do we muff that. Lennox loses the plot a bit when breaks are made.

His brain explosion to box kick the ball away at the end of the half annoyed me enough

jimmyb

TT has made some terrible defensive reads in the past few weeks

Bones

32yo on debut! That's awesome

Bones

Really? Looked like a blatant knock on this time Dropkick

KiwiMurph

Good tmo work

Landers92

Might be time to see Fakatava

Bones

Over excited mistakes and decisions from Lennox are doing my head in, especially when everything else is really good.

Landers92

@Bones agreed. Everything is 100 miles an hour. Doesn’t hurt to slow things down every now and then

jimmyb

@Bones good player but doesn’t come across as particularly bright, which is not what you need from a 9

Bones

EdG has really upped the physicality in contact this year, as well as work rate. Awesome to see
