Speak for yourself ;) 90 minutes Metro, Train, Light Rail, Walk. Bloody eastern elites...

Awesome stadium. Concerts, rugby XVs or 7s. Never fails to impress. So easy these days to get a drink as well compared to the old rubbish. I was against the rebuild but so worth it.

Now tell us how long it takes you to get to Brookvale and Leichhardt.

I'm also not in the east (anymore)!

Nothing special. Tah's fail to clearout, 3pts. Highlanders spill ball at ruck, defence not reset, score, 7pts. Soft.
Clean out, support and decision making are all there for the Highlanders. It doesn't make them a different team but they are making the most of the chances the tahs seem happy to give them.

tahs much more lively after the try, seem to need at least a little kick to wake up each week. Slow starts have been a perennial problem for Australian rugby.

No sure it's indicative of their detail, more just poor from the Tahs. The unforced spilt pill early from Hanigan wasn't great either. Tah's need to settle and start stringing things together.

It's the difference though. Highlanders look like they know where they're supposed to be and what they're supposed to do from the kick off. tahs seem to need the play to go against them for a while before they get their heads in the game.

Most kiwi teams can do the basics right :)

Not the easiest pass, but it's starting to look like Gleeson has the yips. Too many dropped balls over the last 2 weeks for a key carrier.
