Southland v North Harbour

[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

[taniwharugby]

Odd half, Southland look good in patches, but very lacking otherwise, NH will be disappointed not to be further ahead.

[antipodean]

This has not been the high quality rugby I was lead to believe it would be.

[taniwharugby]

surely an accidental off side there?

[taniwharugby]

seen penalties or cards for tackles like that

[Kiwiwomble]

Crowley has been poor, so many passes going to ground

[Tim]

Pierce good for Harbour. Not a lot of clear release today.

[Tim]

Any penalty in the 22 is a yellow card?

[taniwharugby]

@Tim seems the case...not sure NH have had any at the other end?

[taniwharugby]

8-9 on the cards

[taniwharugby]

knock on?

[Tim]

@taniwharugby Looked like one.

[taniwharugby]

5-7 with 22 to go
