Of course the HL are probably one of the few teams likely to beat the chiefs in round robin or even the finals. Nothing to worry about here.
The HL got trounced by the Brumbies last year and still won the comp so this is no different.
The Scarfies are mostly out off town students, not Highlander fans. Anyhow, I highly doubt you even got close to your NCEA level 1 let alone U.E, maybe a few credits in woodwork because you were able to complete a key holder.

...yeah good luck with that...
What a useless troll he is too.
Anyway, someone here said that Reds look good for next years Super Rugby season because they're progressing really well.
Umm the Reds have been in terrible form up until here. And the Highlanders fielded a very under-strength side. I'll wait for them to make playoffs and get past first round before I acknowledge them as a contender. To the poster who said they look good for next season and are improving a lot.

To be fair to the Reds, they haven't been that bad this season, a few results were unlucky not to go their way and after that managerial shake up they've looked a far better team. Their set pieces are one of the better in the competition and if they can add a bit of extra quality in the backline they will be a different prospect, I think Kerevi is going to be a pretty good Wallaby and Ready has looked really good as well.

Perhaps, but not the reason why they lost. These are some of the reasons...
37 handing errors (knock ons, forward passes dropped passes, fumbled pick-ups etc)
39 missed tackles (30%)
Worst offenders; Faddes 4 , Thomson 4, Squire 3
20 turnovers conceded
Worst offenders; Whitelock 3, Sopoaga 3, Osborne 3
And still they got within 1 point. Most of those errors were made in the first half, and when they stopped making them (in the last 20 minutes) they blew the Reds off the park!!

...yeah mate the stats don't lie...pity the losers have to start petitions banning the ref instead of facing the real reasons they lost and taking ownership...

...and you could probably add the lack of leadership that Ben Smith is normally depended on to provide to that list as well as a reason why they lost...

Not a single person had disputed those stats, people have just added that Jackson had a shocker, all the mistakes we made don't take away from the bad game he had just like him being a good player doesn't
NZ has a lot of stupid people like this guy.

The impact of all those errors, missed tackles and turnover on the final result... immense
The impact of Glen Jackson's poor game on the final result... insignificant, and remember the two disallowed tries that Highlanders supporters have been bleating about, were actually the correct decisions.
You can still often still win a game when a referee has a shocker, but you are always gong to struggle when you commit that many errors
At least they won the competition last year against all odds and still punch above their weight giving the resources they have. Great city, great team, great union, no idea why other Kiwi's are in here attempting to antagonize the situation, it's disgusting in all honesty. Especially given how much Chiefs fans whinge about the ref.
Go watch the Chiefs vs Lions game from the beginning of this year.
Tell your m8 bazwaz to can it, he's embarrassing. Also thanks for proving my point btw.
