v Southland

kev

Tua got skinned on the outside...not good

taniwharugby

And our maul defence is poor

Very....yes McLeod getting bullied by Cowan.

Looking like it could be a high scoring game but we need to keep in it

taniwharugby

Seen about 3 forward passes so far, 2 to them and 1 to us all let go

taniwharugby

We lacking penetration and that was a soft turnover...

But BREEN goes over eventually

Haydos

Tacklers aren't being asked to roll today, weird

kev

All over the place but as long as we stay in fight

taniwharugby

Those 2 bounces were almost 14 points

taniwharugby

We can't seem to beat defenders like they are right now.

Too many falling off tackles at moment.

Haydos

"Not straight ref" said everyone at every line out

taniwharugby

Surprised McLeod doesn't get pinged for his not straight put ins.

Larsen on for Robinson...concussion test?

kev

We are useless at mall defence, we should just go straight to the tackle...

taniwharugby

Or just not engage the maul

kev

taniwharugby

No penetration bar Kite

kev

It's all they have to do ... It will come

taniwharugby

We need Macilai out there and to use him on and off the ball

We are at least making them make a lot of tackles

taniwharugby

Cee better get the try now!

kev

@taniwharugby the Macalai non selection is odd unless he has a niggle.

taniwharugby

Wrong decision not to go for points there.

We could be in trouble with the wind at the back of Southland if they kick the corners with thier maul

kev

At least we are in this, scoring early so that we do not have to chase the game I to the wind will be important.

Southland will kick to corners and look to maul so as TR says don't engage!
