    Only Moana could find themselves 31-10 down at halftime despite dominating a fair chunk of this game (apart from the Scoreboard of course).

        Moana are architects of their own demise here. Some dreadful decision making putting themselves under pressure.

          Hasties box kicking and patience is light and day from what Fakatava delivers. Hope he stays in the starting position

            He's always been a better player than Arscott in my mind. Always staggered me he was seen as behind him. Good to see that has changed.

                JGB is looking good to get the full 6 pts from the Highlanders coach and captain.

                  Hopefully they kick on and put Moana to the sword in the second half

                      @KiwiInLondon πŸ’―..his organisational skills and option taking around the ruck is impressive , looks to have time
                      Putting on a clinic , can see why Fakatava is on the pine

                                Not sure why there is all the critique of Fakatava... he was fucken awesome last week. Why can't we just celebrate having two good 9s?

                                  All the pundits said our starting team as a bit shit. We had no depth compared to others. Seems we are proving them wrong.

                                  This game. Second string props. Haig/Howden have been available at six. Renton (debatably out), Fakatava too, no Nareki, both our top two fullbacks unavailable.

                                    good having two good halves.. however FF has been rocks and diamonds for years.. so a certain amount of criticism will always be around..... especially around the consistency of his option taking.

                                      I'd like to see Millar get a good run in the second half to see what he can do in this side. Been notable how much we have kicked off nine this season.

                                        For sure. But last weekend was the best he has played since before his run of injuries

                                          What a mover Hastie has been this season. If you'd asked me three weeks ago which halfback should be dropped at the end of the season he'd have been my pick. Now he's the one guy I think we can't loose.

                                          Gilbert outside of being isolated that one time, has been great. Nice to see his defence has improved this season. Fantastic work from the team the back 20.
