I was sitting right behind the last kick could see it was going to miss as soon as he kicked it

Great effort today from the "stars" of the day, but also the grafters that gave their all.
I'm afraid one good tackle by Cummins does not really convince me that he is performing that well. I have a few concerns about the Badger at the moment.

Also, well done to BG for flying the flag for the winners today.

I don't even want to watch a replay in case it goes over.

Only one thing sweeter than being ALMOST outnumbered by Kiwis in Murphy's today. That was listening to the 3 Tahs supporters bitching all thru the first half. Looks like they've turned tail at half time too.

It was a hard job but someone had to do it

Potentially we could stay in second place on the Australian ladder by the end of the round.

True, but that will mean the Tahs have gone further ahead. I'd rather be third, less than a whole game behind the Brumbies.

Excusing the "spear" farkn tackle (laws are a bitch..) Benny Mac take another bow - you were huge again today mate.

He was trying hard to get multiple tries in.

[WFDom]

That was one of the GREAT games in our history!

Incredible effort.

It was great to see us being so fortuitous. Charge downs sticking.... intercepts etc..... all good signs!!

[Alison]

Think I saw on Twitter today that Brownie tipped us for a top 5 finish pre-season!

[blueandblack]

At this moment, according to superxv.com, we are in 6th place in the overall Super 15 ladder.

7th now

Luckily kiwis aren't the cleverest of cats. 5 of the 8 minutes were scrum resets. Tap and go bro. 15 v 13

That was pretty mind-blowing stuff. And I was surprised at Joseph subbing off their scrum-half also.

What crap about the Force will he come up with this week?

Probably that we are the Highlanders' hoodoo team and we should have expected to win, so why be so smug when they always roll over for us. Either that or they threw the game, that's why they wasted time taking scrums instead of quick-taps.



Not a bad day all round really, the Tahs coaching staff break a window with a dummy-spit and WA gets into the Sheffield Shield final.
