Highlanders V Brumbies Super Bang Bang quarter finals

[Tordah]

<p>basic mistakes</p>

[Chris B.]

<p>Lealiafano misses a handy kick - though I thought they'd pump it into the corner and try a lineout drive. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sopoaga - bad dropout and back we come.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Early nerves!</p>

Btw: I know it's raining, but what's the crowd there? Is this not the finals? And, would this not be a sell-out if played in Dunedin? I'm not sure what my point is except fuck Australia.

[Mattasaurus]

Little tough... but those calls favour attacking teams...

[Gunner]

Fuck the Brumbies and their bullshit of using the scrum to try milk penalties. <br>
Use the fucking ball and play some rugby losers.

[gt12]

Wtf? Even my JP coms are questioning that call. How the fuck did Hohneck take that down??

[Gunner]

Jeez the Highlanders have started pretty poorly by their standards.

[Toddy]

<p>Angling in wasn't it?</p>

[gt12]

My god. Get your fucking set-piece going landers! You fucked our shit up last week, so don't fuck this one up!

[Tordah]

<p>man, the Brumbies are taking the Highlanders down to their shitty level</p>

[gt12]

The landers look shit.<br><br>
Edit to remove 'my god'

[Mattasaurus]

Wind playing a big part so far

[Toddy]

<p>Who has the wind behind them? </p>

Both teams look very tentative with ball....

[Gunner]

I'm not liking the Highlanders tactics of giving slow ball to one off runners who are flat footed. They're not making any headway with it. Maybe time to go to the pick & go.

[Mattasaurus]

Technically. . He went down beyond the ball... but calling of that has been far and few between

<br>
I reckon the landers were lucky they just conceded a penalty. One attacking chance, one line break?<br><br>
Landers will have to do more with the ball than what they are doing. This rain might really fuck them up.

[Mattasaurus]

I have a sinking feeling. ....we need to change game plan... now it's maul time ffs

[gt12]

They're pretty fucking dumb. In these conditions, what's the fucking game plan? It's perfect for Brumbies, so they're going to help them out?

[Toddy]

<p>Highlanders catch a break with the ref missing a forward pass</p>
