Northland v Taranaki
-
I'm not worried about our pace. I reckon we're pretty good there - Nock is quick for a 9, Macilai has plenty of speed, Gregory and Tua are a quick midfield combo and Leilua is no slouch.
We need our pack to front up this week. They got blown away last week. We need to muscle up at the breakdown and make our tackles.

Good point. When you are going backwards, not winning breakdown or contact, it just starts to look like tackling practice. We weren’t very good at that either.

@taniwharugby Aseri has visa issues which is a real shame .
You are not allowed to play as an amateur in the NPC. My whangai was in a similar situation. He had a sort of visa but one that did not allow him to work but had a work permit application (or might have been a Pathway to Residence application, his partner is a NZ citizen) in with the Immigration people. Played one NPC game but the IRD shoulder tapped the Union he was playing for and he was sat on the sideline from that point on until the Immigration Service had processed and approved his work permit.

Trent Renata Roberts
Do you mean Renata Roberts-Te Nana?
He was pretty handy in those few games he got 2 or 3 years ago.

@dan54 no problem, hopefully a few More Naki supporters will comment ,the Naki forum always seems a bit dormant..lights always on but you never see anyone
Mate as I said I just moved here from Aus, but don't worry about our forum seemingly dormant, we leave lights on to welcome people, but actually sitting below the level of windows to see if we should stick heads up

Looking like conditions will be excellent, warm late winter / early spring type day with light winds...just need some good rugby!
