Highlanders 4 looks to be in a bad way

It's so nice to see too. Such a great rule change

That's much better from Hanigan

Oh that is excellent.

Gamble is making very odd decisions at the break down, not really going for the ball but sealing off straight away. the Rewards are there if he attacks the ball but not when he flops over first like that.

Yeah, and by rights the tahs should be able to lock it down and run away with it. That ability for the landers to inject 2 of their regular starting backrow from the bench should keep it interesting though, they could really kick the intensity up and make it uncomfortable for the tahs if they...

Highlanders might be happy to be only 3 points down with their captain and another of their starters to come off the bench.

Poor maul work is really hurting the tahs this year. It doesn't need to be a strength but right now it's a weakness and it's limiting their options.

Is that Anthony Seibold in the tahs coaching box? Edit: commentary just confirmed it is

It's one prediction model amongst many, but I don't remember the last time I've seen a set of impartial predictions this close across the comp:

Hanigan again, he's having a diabolical game

And come they have, that's a great combo between Nawaqanitawase and Perese.

Yeah, there's enough threat with ball in hand to trust the tries will come in time. Would be a in a really good place if they hadn't let in an early try so cheaply.

That's a great take, huge from the kick off

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.

Complete reversal of form for him from last week.

That's tidy from Fakatava and excellent from Reilly

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.

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.

Yeah, highest fantasy score is my second tie breaker. I'm not sure about penalties but cards might be my 3rd. Very unlikely to be a situation where fantasy points don't decide it and cards do though.
