Southland v North Harbour

[taniwharugby]

the bounces off that kick, perfect!

[taniwharugby]

unlucky, well worked move...

[taniwharugby]

ok, I hate how the ref makes a mark for the penalty, and then players use that as the start point of thier run up for a kick

[taniwharugby]

interesting from that maul, that collapsed, ref calls hands out?? Collapsed maul is all bets off right?

Still 0-7 to NH 27mins

[taniwharugby]

what was wrong with that?

[taniwharugby]

some interesting breakdown calls, but seems consistent on both sides though

[taniwharugby]

clearly not 5, wasnt straight either.

[taniwharugby]

jeez, reckon they shoulda gone for some points

[taniwharugby]

hhmm, not sure I agree 100% with that call, but like the decisive YC call given the field position

[Tim]

This ref is only looking at one side.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim thought he has looked ok, but no way was that forward!

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Needs to watch the offside lines.

[Steven Harris]

Parsons says it’s been the story of Southlands season in reference to not take their opportunities in the 22..We’ve only had 200 minutes of the Mitre 10 cup season James..!, give yourself an uppercut

[taniwharugby]

@Tim fair call, I've more been focusing on breakdown stuff which ref is making some interesting calls but seems consistent for both sides

[Tim]

@Steven-Harris They look completely incompetent with ball in hand.

[taniwharugby]

@Tim looked good in opening 10, but very disjointed otherwise.

[taniwharugby]

why not take the 3??

[Steven Harris]

@Tim to be fair, they have come a hell of a long way from where they were..they miss Marty McKenzie at first five ,Nuu and Morby look good players ..I would take them at a drop of hat given what we have up in Northland at the minute

[taniwharugby]

@Steven-Harris Hawkins

[Kiwiwomble]

That’s a messy half, basically one or two phases before a penalty for 40 minutes
