Well played Northland. Wellington were a shambles.
Goodhue and Moorby looked class.
-
@Winger too many has beens in the Lions. Not good enough.
-
@Canes4life leadership an issue too...he is such a muppet.

@FakatavaAllBlack we have a good squad on paper...the bigger thing for me is the improvement in our defence, Marty Veale earning his money there.
Sure Wellington were pretty poor, but the constant pressure on them by our defence was huge.
We are showign glimpses of things on attack, but today probably wasnt the day, aside from that slick try to end the 1st half...the poor timing of alot of runs/passes, especially off set piece is not great, but hopefully if we get some better conditions we might be able to get some things going.
Was great to see the pack muscle up to score a nice try, and then the backs, not to be outdone, score a sweet try too!
But gee, if someone had said we'd be 2 from 3 after playing 'naki away, Waikato at home and Wellington away, while only scoring 37 points I'd have laughed at them!
Well done lads, well done!

Bit shit when Beervana pushes all the Rugby out to Porirua. That ground will be a mess in all this rain.
FPC games are usually free but this means you have to get a ticket for all games except the Schools final and fucked if I'm hanging around with all the feral schoolkids attending that one. Parking will be a nightmare as well.
No it’s not. Beervana is awesome.
As if they’d shunt a magical event like that out to P town.

They've got enough super rugby players to do better than they are. They have been poor in the last 2 games. And Canterbury certainly aren't unbeatable

It it's pretty obvious then, their super players can't be much good.

That win was based on defence - Wellington turned over a lot of ball but the pressure from the defense played a big part in that.
I thought Matt Moulds had a huge game. Bar his first few lineouts he was best on field in the first 50 mins. I wouldn't mind seeing Moulds 6, Mau'u 7 and Matich 8 whilst Robinson is injured. Brings some real physicality.
Some real experience in that squad today and good experience off the bench too. Hawkins much maligned but has been adding a lot from the bench so far this season. Would rather see Tua at 12 and Ranger on the bench but either way it's a good player to come on in the 2nd half. Both Adams and CTC added a lot from the bench.
Reihana looks a lot more confident this year too
