More of the same from the Highlanders. Extremely disappointing. These new assistant coaches have got a lot to answer for this year. Supposedly brought in for skills and the back line and they've both been abysmal. Completely unorganized, running sideways. The only time we look dangerous is with Ellison and Smith, sometimes Treeby.
As for the forwards, a lot of them are just not up to it. Quite frankly, Tony Woodcock cannot be an All Black this year. I don't know a front rower that goes to the deck anywhere near as often as he does, even Crockett does it less. Josh Bekhuis isn't a rugby player, he's one of those guys that gets picked because he's 2 metres tall and then learns to play afterwards. He doesn't know how to control his limbs. I could go on for ever. What a frustrating year.
Well played to the Kings, they were always going to be up for it this week. The bookies prices for this game were just insane.
