v HB

[Gunner]

Rene fucking Ranger, yes boy!!!!

[Stockcar86]

FFS tackle backs!

[Nepia]

Ili's defence has been awful.

Damn I wish Bucky was here ....

[Gunner]

Now lads we’re in front, now fucking concentrate on your exit play, and make your bloody tackles

[Donsteppa]

Touch ref! Like a two-sided version of the BoP v Waikato game.

how is our scrum less than 800kg according to that stat?

Not enough pie.

[Gunner]

Hold onto your hats, HB penalty, into the 22, try coming

I wonder if it's time to bring Toala into the midfield - go for broke with youth.

Actually, we could just bring Lowe into the midfield.

That’s gotta be wrong surely

[Nepia]

WTF - the ref just impeded Weber allowing Northland to get the ball at the ruck! And then try.

Biggest defensive threat on the park?

[taniwharugby]

I think plenty of matches we have played in Napier have been highscoring poor defensive matches...

The Magpies need him more then Northland does though.

[Gunner]

This is some game!
Sure some of the defense has been awful, but the entertainment factor is sky high.

He needs to ship his kicking boots to Argentina!

I'm not finding it entertaining! We let a blonde dude with a pony tail run 80 metres.

Making up for the try he gifted you guys earlier when your bloke didn’t release the tacked player and stripped the ball...

I thought the lineout penalty balanced that out?

[Gunner]

This ref is awful at refereeing the ruck.
Awful in general to be fair.
