It was lovely to watch even though I was obviously hoping for am error.

Commentators made a good point. Highlanders have great bench tonight so hopefully can go full 80 with the saders- last year they got torn apart in the last 5min

He’s got that!

Wonderful work from the TMO and Reece

Only a mm in it! Glad I wasn't making the call.

Amazing from Reese

Enzedder · Post by **Enzedder** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:16 am

He took the kick - that should stand

Kiwias · Post by **Kiwias** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:17 am

Not so amazing by Mo'unga there

Wrong area and restart regardless

trapper · Post by **trapper** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:18 am

Taylor gets pinged for changing his line in the first minute or so, now the Clan are taking out players off the ball with impunity. WTF!

Yeah, the kick has to go over the 22 m line

The team meetings before the lineouts need to be stopped. Its annoying.

Monkey Magic · Post by **Monkey Magic** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:24 am

Coltman starting another year as a professional hooker unable to throw into a lineout

Hey, the Sadists took over a minute to gather their front row for a scrum when they had a man in the bin. Gotta be fair

I like that kiwis embrace LGBTQRZSAEIOU culture with their kinky haircuts. Brave.

Barrett pulled Fakatava into that.

TMOs ruining the sport.

Yeah, only took one match to prove that.

"has anything occurred in the past 5 minutes that we missed?"

Highlanders maul has been awful, dumb to go to it again.

I liked the defense at the last maul

Willie Falloon · Post by **Willie Falloon** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:41 am

That wasn;t a maul turnover, Highlanders had the ball on the ground.

They've been getting fisted all game in the set piece, a couple scrums were bordering on dangerous. And not just cuz we almost saw Scottie Barrett's weenie after one of them.

Monkey Magic · Post by **Monkey Magic** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:44 am

Highlanders have had some dumb rugby in the last 10min

Ted. · Post by **Ted.** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:46 am

That's the game.

Monkey Magic · Post by **Monkey Magic** » Fri Feb 26, 2021 8:47 am

Crusaders show highlanders what a maul is meant to look like. Hope for the competition sake highlanders can stop saders getting the bonus point
