Highlanders V Brumbies Super Bang Bang quarter finals

[Tordah]

<p>I said it before somewhere, Gardner is the best ref in Super Rugby at the moment</p>

[Toddy]

<p>That's what Jackson didn't have the balls to do last week. Even though he's earned the nickname hometown.</p>

<p>Lima has a good pair of kicking boots</p>

[Gunner]

Good nudge Lima, I have a feeling those two points could make the difference in this game...

[Gunner]

Fuck off and learn how to respect the ball will you Fekitoa.

[KiwiMurph]

That was much much better weather attack by the Highlanders in the wet in the leadup to that try - more direct - less side to side. Very impressed by Squire.

Fekitoa = muppet

[Stargazer]

<p>I wonder whether Fekitoa has a (milder) form of the Savea Syndrome. Fekitoa isn't as good anymore as he used to be.</p>

[Tordah]

<p>Brumbies offer nothing but a strong scrum and some good slowing down of the ball at the ruck. Hope those fuckers get destroyed, they are annoying to watch</p>

<p>A pity he looks like Wayne Barnes' evil twin</p>

[Mattasaurus]

Tense game... weather big component <br><br>
Angus Gardner pretty good... scrums dominant for Brumbies. ..love playing for the whistle.<br><br><br>
Landers owning line out....<br><br><br>
Still game on knife edge....

<p>He seems like he has lost it - like 1997 Walter Little</p>

<p>Highlanders need to work on the errors and hope the scrum sorts itself out. The Brumbies don't look like they can offer much on attack except for lineout drives.</p>

<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.</p>

<p>Can you see the game, though?  :)</p>

[hydro11]

<p>Fekitoa is just a bit out of form at the moment and hasn't dealt with his deficiencies yet.</p>

<p>Only if nothing moves for about 20 seconds. So, no. :)</p>

[taniwharugby]

<p>well I have been too busy/lazy to turn Sky Sports off, and my SkyGo tells me I dont have Sports subscription, despite my TV still having it</p>

<p>His deficiencies - - poor passing game, headless chicken running - are the exact same ones since he's been with the ABs for the past three seasons.</p>
<p>I hope Moala gets a go.</p>

<p>I think he has regressed since making the ABs, more so since other teams have worked him out too</p>
