v Taranaki

[Steven Harris]

@j77 Campbell Mathews played for Hikuangi this year,originally from the far north,he is very promising hooker,a bit of a surprise he has been selected over Ben Tou from Waipu or Micheal Lea who are both in the Dev squad hookers..big call from the coaches,but he was in the HP squad from earlier in the year...just wish we had some promising players coming through in other positions.

pretty windy up here today, warm, the odd light shower passing through, but the wind will make it interesting.

1st exit mistake. Not good enough.

[J77]

How slow was Matty Wright on that chase..

Naki up 7-0.

[kev]

@kev Poor combination results in a giveaway try. Man than hurts. No one running defence.

[J77]

Ffs use exit plays! Got a wind at our backs and we run it..

[kev]

@j77 frustrating

[J77]

@kev brainless errors the order of the day again. Reoccurring story.

[kev]

@kev talk about wasting chances with the ball.

[kev]

@kev poor execution on attack and we give the ball straight back.

[taniwharugby]

Not being smart. String wind at your back...use it

[J77]

And another bombed.. take freaking points when they’re on offer. We ha e potential to take this match, just need to stop the cabbage shit. Tua doesn’t look like he has confidence..

[kev]

@kev but great scrum

[J77]

Like to see Hyland used more on these set piece moves..

[J77]

On ya big Red! 10-10

[kev]

@j77 now we have scored we kick straight away on restart...please

[J77]

@kev we’ll take the scrum on halfway instead! 👍

[kev]

@j77 Rinakama hmmmm.

[J77]

We can can split these guys open. Just dumb penalties keeping them on the front foot. How many ‘not through the gates’ is that now??
