[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 388977, member: 24910"] Not a bad game - both teams were keen to run the ball, they just lacked the skill level to do it on some occasions. If the Highlanders were more clinical I feel they could have put the game beyond doubt, but the last pass almost invariably found its way into a Cheetahs players hands. Because of their lack of clinical finishing, the Highlanders had to rely on the Cheetahs poor goal-kicking to get the win in the end. Some good performances in the forwards for the Highlanders, Hoeata and Thomson particularly stood out to me, though I feel Thomson was lucky not to get penalised more than he was. Slade looked very classy at first-five, his performance certainly helped his case to be Carters backup at the RWC. Lynn probably had his best game of the season (after having his worst game last week), while Poki also looked dangerous with the ball in hand. Smith, as always, was brilliant at fullback. [/QUOTE]
