Highlanders v Waratahs

Tahs defending like their assistant coach Mike Catt

And nearly set another one up

A man on a mission

DeGroot and Newell have to be the starting props for the ABs

Grooter is running the classic propping career. Absolutely thriving now as he enters his late 20s. Hopefully living overseas will just be far too exotic for him

Finally some beautiful rugby today from us been waiting all season

Oh that’s beautiful

Wow this team is doing the basics well. Millar is running the ship well

Lovely ball from Cam and good work from Lowe to flick that offload. What a start

Who were the absolute spuds that played against the Brumbies and Drua? Where has this team been

Very poor game management from Howden

Yeah incredibly dumb.

The only issue I’m seeing is that the waratahs are dominating the contact area and they stop messing around, the highlanders will need to muscle up

A yellow for that. Was that not our first penalty of the game? Unbelievable wtf

Typical Damon Murphy

Super harsh call on Jim

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

Smart rugby player too is Tangitau

Why the hell did Kellaway let that go into touch?

Time for a scrum penalty and a yellow card

All from Tangitau's brilliant 50-22

What are this Aussie group up to

That was fine. Was worth a look. Try stands.

@KiwiMurph not sure it was worth a look IMO.

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

'Hybrid'

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.

Awful option from Lennox there

@KiwiMurph said in Highlanders v Waratahs:

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

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

He's not dissimilar to Roigard in his game style

Looked like a ruck had formed?

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

@kev said in Highlanders v Waratahs:

Yep and it was a second go too.

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

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.

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

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

Really stokdd that a simplified lineout has worked well

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
