Great win Landers....and special congrats to the crowd who were very vocal
And condolences to Couch who could only be Canes fan

Landers getting away with murder at the breakdown. Wow Or the Canes loosies including a very average Savea are being cleaned out by a superior and possibly the best set of loosies in this comp There’s a lot of cynical play by the Landers out there but Okeefe is only watching one side atm Agree... b...

Landers.....

Roadman

It’s a real battle of the Highlanders 1 to 10 v the Canes 11 to 15.

Roadman

I think AC mentioned it earlier but I would have no qualms if Robertson sent a C team up to battle the blues. I mean it’s a nothing game really. Disagree. This has been an outstanding display of the Kiwi game at the very best level that we can play it. That game today was outstanding open play as w...

Watched that game on my Samsung phone on SkyGo in a camping ground in Haast. Keep dropping out and missed parts of the game. But it was obvious who the standout players were and who would walk straight into an AB team if we had one. Shannon Frizell now several games in a row he is consistently showi...

Roadman

You’re asking the question from the wrong angle mate... Do we want two ALB’s or two Jack Goodhues? Having two clearly talented players able to play both midfield roles should excite everyone who has faith the coaching panel would be able to capitalise on that... oooh. Damn. Correct. If we were play...

Roadman

Go the Chiefs

Roadman

Jeez it’s frustrating watching that Chiefs backline running like headless chocks. Seeing ALB missing tackles and getting chopped down by forwards is disheartening. Trask might be the future but constant basic errors are not acceptable. It might be a better bet getting the old fella on there and be s...

Roadman

Basic school boy errors early from the Chiefs giving territory to the Blues. ALB is having a shocker at centre on defence missing tackles and as the senior not organizing that midfield

Roadman

Drummond get 33 minutes...critical bench player

He’s the best 15 in NZ at the moment.
I'd go as far to say as the best player.

In terms of influence in a game he is already setting the marker as Aotearoa player of the year.

Good read and long pass from Jordie Barrett

Haha...class...Bridge

Haha....and yes Laumape replies

Goodhue showing what an AB centre looks like setting up others

Roadman

The odds look about right. The Canes look ok but as long as Goodhue wears the GOATs invisibility cloak and remains offside all day, the Canes backs wont function. Spot on comment. Goodhue is our best midfielder along with ALB. Ennor is a lose. This is the contest that will decide a large part of th...

Eckland with accurate line out throws makes Parsons look like a grannie on her Zimmer frame

Roadman

Haha...loving the brother match up...and the crowd love

Roadman

I think it's questionable to say BB is a better first five than Black. I will say he's definitely a better fullback than Black, which is why I think MacDonald and co have the mix right at the moment. Since 2017 there have been big question marks about Barrett's distribution and tactical kicking ski...

Roadman

I'll post some more in-depth reflections tomorrow, but fresh from viewing it's hard not to be excited about both these coaches. Both Robertson and Macdonald look like special talents, and I hope they don't follow the path of 95% of our elite coaches who spend their best years coaching offshore. We ...

Roadman

RMo bought it back in a big way and could rightly claim motm. It’s quite impressive considering he was quite iffy in the first half. Agree with that. That was a game of inches and many times in the first half with some of his stupid kicking of what the f... was that Ritchie. Where as with Codie Tay...

Roadman

Give Cody Taylor MoM now

Roadman

Referee is pretty average

Roadman

Ritchie.....
You machine

Roadman

You’re joking...two knock ons by the Blues result in an advantage to the Blues to a 5 meter scrum

Roadman

All the hype about Will Jordan is irrelevant. Yes he is a future AB fullback, but regardless that Saders backline named for this game is solid class. Havilli is Mr Consistent no matter where he is placed in that backline but more so at fullback. The star trick played by Razor has been the movement ...

In the same way Polynesian bouncers in bars always look bigger than their white colleagues.

They are AC...put the tape around the puku.

Bloody awesome game. Glory boys v discipline believers. Discipline slowly grinding through but one play could decide this. Love this game.

Roadman

I’d put David Havilli in there just behind DMac.
Go the Chiefs. Need a win. It would rankle to lose to a team as clueless as the Canes.

Roadman

Certainly a.better balance to that Saders backline with Reece on his wing and Jordan at fullback. Good effort by the leaders in that Landers team to take it deep but this is a well structured and coached Saders team as can be seen as they have easily eliminated the massive ill discipline and poor se...

Roadman

50 22 if you bounce the ball over the sideline. You could park a pogo stick at each 5 meter line and score a triple try for bouncing over the tryline. Clever plums these Aussies. Don’t let any of the muppets anywhere near the IRB.

Roadman

So we are all agreed - Scott Gregory is just shit? Two shit names, shit haircut, shit under the high ball, shit tackler, shit kicker.* *naturallly, he is going to now go on and become a 100 test All Black and make me eat my words for the next 10 years. On the basis of that baptism of fire, as an AB...

Roadman

What this season is already doing is filling the weak spots that were obvious in RWC and looked even more of a hole with Read retiring. The emergence of both these young players is that along with Frizell we now have three big strong ball running, body moving and tackling presence players to compete...

Roadman

Probably only one you could have a debate about is first five. And you could honestly make a case for all four starting first fives. All played well but had a few negatives. If you also had a constant wanker of the week it would just about always go to Reiko Ioane. Great player but why does he alway...

Roadman

Very happy with Chiefs improvement but clinical Saders again. Easy to hand MoM out to the likes of the finishers like Jordan. But in wet weather arm wrestles like that Sam Whitelock was a standout with doing the donkey work at a very improved lineout, kick receives and general leadership.
