Super Rugby-TT: Rd 2 Western Force v Highlanders, May 21st, Perth

[Rugbynutter39]

Yeh baby medrano hammer time in the scrum

 

[Dctarget]

Aaron Smith is incredible. He’s made it his mission to dominate Kaitu’u in both attack & defence. Not a good look for a hooker.

 

[Derpus]

I can't believe how far off the pace we are, across the board.

Aaron smith was immense against reds last week and definitely the reason highlanders ahead as otherwise been a good contest.

I don’t agree...Aaron smith the exception as his line speed immense...begrudgingly have to admire how good is Aaron smith and so way ahead of any 9 we can put out

 

[Dan54]

Yep once again, Aus 9s playing against him will see how good it is to be able to pass accurately, and have the ability to pick out the right runner, mind you not many kiwi 9s have learnt as well yet!!

Gees article by nick bishop on roar highlighted how attacking speed of Aaron smith is what hit the reds.Same again for his try tonight.can’t some Japanese or European club offer him a truckload of money to play elsewhere

Good try RN, but have a peek next year at young Fakatava who is learning under him!

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Japanese and European rugby scouts should be watching this and reds match and offering him big contract (fark he is too good so need to get him out of the mix...)

His passing game speed in getting the ball out as commentators highlighted makes huge difference as does speed of his running game - in not watching kiwi domestic rugby and covid stuff forgot how good he is..

 

[KOB1987]

Aaron Smith with mouth guard in and the porn star mo is a dead ringer for Freddie Mercury

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Timani have to be in the wallaby mix on this sort of performance

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Cheese surely

 

[Serge]

Miotti is light years better than McIntyre. He is play making in the close channels very well. Why the Force play McIntyre is absolutely beyond me.

 

[Teh Other Dave]

I can't believe how far off the pace we are, across the board.

Yeah, nah.

 

[Rugbynutter39]

Faarkk... force really hunting but highlanders really been tough to crack...

 

[Teh Other Dave]

Highlanders making uncharacteristic errors at crucial moments. And then the Force give away a scrum penalty.

 

[Dctarget]

Force’s ruck security has screwed them a few times.

Force’s ruck security has screwed them a few times.

Getting isolated with every big break

 

[Dan54]

I know it was direct to head, but still seems harsh yc when man ducks!

 

[Derpus]

Yeah, nah.

Nah, yes?
