Northland v Auckland

[number9]

RTS missing the tackle that led to a try and fucking up at the breakdown.

Well done Northland.

Deserved winners

That's what you get for picking Pugh and Vest Ieremia you clown

Northland in front

[Tim]

Congrats Northland.

Not sure on that last ruck, looked like a classic no release or roll from the tackler.

Vest can bugger off.

Hopefully that gets rid of them

High tackle on Gibson should’ve been called. Crazy refereeing throughout the game though

Watched a replay, looked like a possible direct head shot. Strange not to look at it.

@Tim

I went back and checked too. Direct contact to the head. Ref didn’t want to make the call

Interesting as we was right next to it and called no or ok straight after. Thought they would go back and have a look?

He missed so much in all phases of play that players were lost. No one can be happy with the way he reffed.

Have to say, all Auckland needed to do was take their penalties and extend there lead but they got gready. In the end they lost they game. Which was good for us.

He is someway off being an All Black. Hearing John Kirwan calling for him to be picked pisses me off. Can see why he failed as a coach.

When did Northland last beat comedy Auckland?

2008 was the last victory over Auckland

For comparison they've beaten Waikato 6 times since then

[taniwharugby]

@Hooroo over a dozen years ago, Justin Collins, David Holwell, Rokocoko, Mealamu all still playing, was at Eden Park, 1st win ever up here though!

What a day to get tickets to a box with free beers!

46 years since they last beat them in Whangarei apparently (according to the radio commentary team doing the Southland v Wellington game).

[taniwharugby]

@Higgins not sure that is right, pretty sure that is our first ever win at home, well the TSF records go back to 1976 when npc started anyway, and we had 0 wins at home then....

PIck your Northland MOTM

According to the Ferald

It's the first time Northland have beaten Auckland at home – and just their third win over them since the NPC began in 1976.
