Northland v Otago

[kev]

Turns into great start. Good support, and running lines.

[kev]

Good line D. Now the exit.

[kev]

Good exit. Well done.

[kev]

And a great try. Wow.

[Higgins]

Jeez, you'd be spewing if you blow it from here!
Northland 19 - 00 Otago after half an hour

[kev]

Some great work. And another try. Bonus point. Shit.

[Bovidae]

Otago obviously not doing their neighbours Southland any favours.

[kev]

And we give one away. But like the energy from the Taniwha.

[taniwharugby]

What was the card for?

[kev]

@taniwharugby he threw someone’s boot away

[taniwharugby]

@kev wondered if that was it...happened to someone at the other end too.

[kev]

Dumb play. Behind the line should have kicked. Come on boys.

[kev]

And another great try. Loving Gregory at centre. Giving Debreczeni a target when he runs.

[kev]

Should have been another. Not offside.

[Stargazer]

The way Otago plays is even bad for a second-string team. Obviously, they're already focusing on the semi next week. That, or they still haven't recovered from losing the Shield.

[kev]

@Stargazer Otago haven’t shown up. But good we put them away.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer both

Although we played some rugby today, liked our attitude on defence especially

[kev]

Hard to judge with Otago useless. But good line speed on D, good work defending the line ( we have been not bad here most season), some good passing exchanges and more punch at centre.

[taniwharugby]

@kev having Gregory at 13 helped Hohaia too

Great win for northland, a good free flowing couple of tries gave them the confidence they have been missing, that style of play tho still only pays off 10% of the time hence the season score board, i have always believed the squad is ther but its higher up that needs to be looked at, alot of money is being spent with the coaching staff and the 100 assistance they have for very little payback. Good way to end the season tho over a top 4 team.
