As I said earlier after watching Blues v Saders then Brums v Force it was like going from fast to slo-mo. Trying to treat each game by its own merits but its hard, I really do enjoy the way the NZ teams play.

Its 19:30 (7:30pm) now.

Force by 1 that is what I envisioned after sniffing 12+ Artline texters together. Texters aside I come up with Reds by +14. Drained from the Saders/Highlanders game so at least I'm nice & relaxed for this one.

Maybe, I think both teams would've been equally confused.

Yep, I'm thinking along the same lines. I'm off to the Reds/Force thread hopefully another great game coming up.

Oh no way, Saders completely smashed the Highlanders scrum, get the penalty but really the penalty before that should've been FT. Never like to lose but credit to the Highlanders. Looking at my own guys with Carter & McCaw to come back, I feel cautiously optimistic. That being said Tyler &...

Oh my god this is messy! Someone tell the players how much time is left! Highlanders have won it, good game. Great come back from Saders. They are going again after another penalty beyond 80min (shouldve been FT).

Oh, so close, very good attempt Tyler hard luck son. Scoreboard time malfunction, LMFAO! Maul it up boys you've got 3min!

Go for the kick! .....& get it pls (probably too far, but good to see him having a go).

That was such a trick move by the Highlanders not even Rutledge knew it was on!

I was going to say "I hope not" but in they go. In for a cracking finish.

Just finished Tea, baked tea & Rugby - great combo. Saders convert penalty 24-20 with 15min to go. Good cover from Zac. Forgot to note I think Matt Todd has had a solid game too.

Adam Thomson with a good turn over from Highlanders counter ruck. I wouldnt say Highlanders have turned over momentum to Saders but Saders have def lifted more. Still under pressure with a 5m scrum to Highlanders.

Penalty Saders, ruck infringement, Hore caught for not going through the gate. Not sure about that but he never let go of the player with the ball on the deck to start with so a penalty was there either way. Tyler gets this one Saders 21-20.

Great stuff Matt Todd! What a try from Ellis! Tyler misses the conversion, bad miss. Replay shows Ellis clearly gets it down. I want to treat each game by its own merits but I cant help but worry how the fast pace of this game is going to effect me watching Reds v Force next just like Blues...

Cheers Sandpit.

Naturally you want your team to win every game but I'm no so concerned about what happens at the beginning of the season - provided there aren't bad signs that your team is dangerously behind the 8-ball. The highlanders looked the goods in the first part of last season then the wheels came off &...

Highlanders over! 20-10 Highlanders half time. My guys are going to be happy to go to the sheds right now. Need to up the intensity in the second half. I'm hoping they'll do what they did when they hung in & won against the Blues round 1. Issue is it was errors & the Blues bad line-out IMO...

Brilliant tackle from the Saders, dont know who it was though.

The stadium looks great.
