Gunner

Whoa, great try by Alaimalo to open up the scoring.

Promising start by Northland 5-0

@Stockcar86 said in v Waikato:

Good try but hungus - should have been a try under the posts not in the corner

Always a risk of a pass going to ground maybe?

(Of course if it was Masaga or Kata then it would be a clear hungus).

Gunner

Tough penalty. Don't see many head high tackles made only a foot off the ground.

Gunner

Great call taking the scrum.

The wind makes it a 50/50 chance at goal, and our line out is dodgy.

Gunner

Crowd favourite Ross Wright crashing over.

Beauty!

Gunner

Right, I'm settled into the game now, better support the sponsor and pop the top off a Red!

Gunner

Definite yellow, possible red?

Gunner

Yellow it is, which is a fair call.

We need to take advantage of this and put a few more points on, especially since we have to turn around and play into the wind.

15-0

Gunner

We haven't played very smart since Waikato have had a man in the bin

Gunner

He's gonna be in trouble

Gunner

Just a penalty, really?

No consistency with what we've been seeing all year.

18-0 half time. Hopefully that is enough of a lead to turn into the wind with.

@Gunner we won't be able to kick for territory so will need to hold the ball for longer periods. But can't shut up shop.

Fuck it's cold!.

Me like our scrum

taniwharugby

Wind all but gone...clearing skies

taniwharugby

Holy fuck

@taniwharugby man we look like the real deal. Winning the physical parts of the game and scoring tries out wide😀

Gunner

Wow.

Another dominant performance, deserved every bit of that 30 point win.

Shame we let them get a try as it would have been bloody awesome to get them to a donut.

I thought Guildford was supposed to be playing?

taniwharugby

sit back and savour this fellas, some very tough and dark times as a Northland fan (and for the players) over the years, just need to savour these moments!!

Oh me oh my did I enjoy that, YES BOY!

@taniwharugby Congrats to the guys. Keep it coming!
