[QUOTE="SomeOke, post: 552105, member: 59145"] Fantastic game from the neutral point of view, well worth missing a few lectures ;). Anyway I thought both teams were great, and the difference really comes down to polish. Highlanders certainly have the players and the potential to win the competition but the Chiefs defence (Tim-Nanai none-withstanding) was just far more structured and offered far less opportunities. The same on attack, with a few handling errors and poor decision making costing them tries. If the Highlanders had made use of the overlap before the Nanai Williams second try and the lazy offload after the Bekhuis break this could have had a very different result as both of those were potentially 14 point swings in the grand scheme of things (Highlanders were going to score, but the Chiefs scored instead). All in all NZ Rugga looking very good :), can't wait for the rest of the matches. [/QUOTE]
