[2016 Super Rugby] Highlanders vs. Force (Round 6) 01/04/2016

I know it was just the force in this game but to me Osbourne is asking pretty big questions of Julian Savea. If he continues like this and Julian is as lazy as he's been over the last couple of years I reckon Hansen should seriously look at dumping Savea before the int season begins. Take Osbourne instead. We've got the lions next year and Julian needs to be at his best and he's just not imo nowhere near it even at the WC I just wasnt that impressed by Savea.

In saying all that the HL are just tactically and skills wise better at using their backs than the Canes this season so Osbourne does have an advantage over Savea I guess...
 
The scrums were another side of the coin on this. They had a replacement prop but not that specific side!? WTF is this game coming to?? Uncontested scrums because they dont have a specific prop to prop one side of a scrum is the biggest peckerwood rule this game has going atm.


With the 23 man squad, there is supposed to be no way this can happen unless there are three serious injuries to at least one "side"

IMO, WR have missed a bet with the new FR replacements Law. They should have specified that at least one of the prop replacements MUST be STE for both sides of the scrum. Either that, or allow teams to name two third choice props (one STE each side) but they are only allowed to use one of them, and only in case of injury to the two other props.
 
It was a bit of a joke, hohneck started 4 games at LH last season!
