Moana Pasifika v Highlanders

Not exactly like for like situations and I know Fakatava wasn't fit tonight however with Hastie and Fakatava there are some parallels between Joseph selecting Aaron Smith over Cowan in his first season coaching Landers the first go around
@KiwiMurph Hastie I thought was subbed for a reason. He slightly over does his running game, but his massive left boot is extremely helpful in this side. Both will be needed throughout the season... but gee, how was he rated below Arscott, who looked like a small child when he came on?

Geez that's rugby. I am knackered watching it, players must be almost dead. The Highloanders must feel like they can do with a holiday. For them how good was Holland again, Big Jim (again) and I have to disagree with a few, I thought Gilbert was bloody good. And Hastie? I knew he was ok, but by the powers he was bloody good. MP were not rubbish either, Ardie is a monster sometimes . Great game.

Feel vindicated about the missed 50/22?

Arscott might have been a little lucky not to concede a penalty after the Big Jim turnover.
Umaga needs to make a big call on who starts at 10. It's obvious who it should be. Really the 9-10-12 axis wasn't great for MP.
@Bovidae totally Tana is blinded by these selections Matavao and Pellegrini looked way better ..
MP should be 1 /2 -

No why should I?? I made my feelings clear, I had no probs with it. Could you not understand that? I said it repeatedly!! I thought AB selectors would mark it down.. I love the game he plays, it is just what Super needs.
I can watch games like that all the time! -

Relieved more than anything, Savea or Hastie motm for their sides. Thought moana's reserve 10 looked good. the Bye now comes at the perfect time for us
@Grooter Hastie looks a talent
-
@KiwiMurph great to hear a coach speak intelligently and honestly.
So good to have him back home.
Bloody good player and now a bloody good coach. -
The bench completely disrupted the Highlanders' game in the second half: De Groot struggled at scrum time while Taylor was unable to throw properly. Obviously, this didn't make things easy for Arscott and Gilbert. And then there was BOK who had decided not to penalize Ardie Savea ...
