Taranaki vs Northland

[kev]

Hohaia not having impact with his runs.

[taniwharugby]

NOck has a very quick pass, but he spends alot of time with his head up looking at scrums.

[kev]

@taniwharugby got to coach that out. Make decisions get on with it.

[taniwharugby]

man our discipline is average (although ref let them go straight off feet which he pinged us for)

[taniwharugby]

superb passage of defence, ending with a great t/o by Matich

[Gunner]

Haven’t had the ball for 10+ minutes, soon as we get it we kick it back and we’re defending again....

[kev]

Better physicality by our guys. But they are breathing heavy.

[taniwharugby]

Hohaia pushing very hard on defence.

[taniwharugby]

damn, big loss with HYland going off

[Gunner]

Fucking Johnson rushed up out of the line, took no one leaving a gaping hole for hem to run through.

[kev]

@Gunner Johnson has had a poor start to the season.

[taniwharugby]

our bombs are going far too deep, we cant contest them...kick long and deep or much shorter

[J77]

Here comes the slide..

[Gunner]

@kev yea, really struggling to see his up side...

How far away is Tua?

Fuck sakes we’re unravelling.

Unforced error turned into an easy 7 points now.

[taniwharugby]

@J77 yup...

not sure the wind looks as strong as they were saying??

NOw Matich off too...this gonna be ugly

[taniwharugby]

those are the kind of boxies we should be doing

[kev]

We are lacking punch in backline. JB is running and looking for runners.

Need to get ball and hold for some phases.

[taniwharugby]

we need to mark that blind better, we had 3 forwards there marking 3 backs, with Ross marking Waisake

[kev]

That backline is tragic. Coach?

[taniwharugby]

man they are so off-side, putting more pressure on our backs who look like they just met on the bus down
