Northland v Taranaki
-
I like that 23. Only thing I would change is Macilai to 11 and Gregory to 12. I don't understand why coaches are reluctant to play him at 12, it's the ideal position for him. Happy with Hawkins keeping 10 Jersey. Haven't been a big fan but he went well last weekend and don't think the others have shown enough to oust him yet.
We need to start well, all 3 games we've been slow to get started. I don't think Taranaki will roll over and let us back in like Manawatu and C-M

down a punnet of chips then roll down the bank with his mates for the rest of the game
am sure you did that as a kid, I did that as a kid, TR Jnr did that when he was younger, it's what you do!
@Gunner 's son could be 35. It might not be entirely dignified but why not?

This game would be more enjoyable if the players entered the rucks legally. Instead the ref is (rightfully)) blowing his whistle. Hopefully both teams address and respond.
-
@antipodean I also hope Northland learn how to scrum and line out
-
Ref incredibly quick at blowing some of the holding calls, but is doing both ways

And that's all you can really ask for as a player. Well, that and not making clangers.

@Snowy I know how old @Gunner is and no way is his kid 35 haha
More a reference to me doing it in my fifties. I'm game.

Not one for handing out cards for the fun of it, but that one should've come earlier IMO.

@Duluth shh almost as bad as the ground announcer 10 minutes to go saying people could go on the field to celebrate the win
Nah easy victory. Whats par? 20 points?
-
Bit of a scratchy 60 mins by both sides before Northland took it up a gear and closed it off.
But ill take that!

<6:45 to go and 15 points, exagerator!
Fun game, some monster hits that could really be felt. I thought it was all over rover the way Taniwha started the second half!
