Northland v Tasman

[Bones]

What the fuck was that? Ta$man players just took out arriving Northland support after the hooker was tackled? They weren't even allowed to attend the breakdown

[taniwharugby]

@Bones check the ref

[Bones]

@taniwharugby doesn't like Northland or just can't keep up?

[taniwharugby]

@Bones both

[taniwharugby]

Rough, looked like he just slipped before the engage

[Bones]

How much do we think O'Malley has on Northland 12+?

[hydro11]

Blatantly forward pass.

[Grooter]

O'Malley needs subbed after halftime

[Nepia]

Wow, that was a nice break out after the intercept, bummer they didn't capitalise on it.

Evens up for the non penalty after the hooker's run.

[kev]

Good half for us. Forward pass for carry back so fair we didn’t score from that. But Hohaia on the crash is leading to a lot of turnovers.

[taniwharugby]

Well, can we keep this up for another 40...

The aggressive carries from forwards are bending their defensive line. Moorby and Murray look good together.

Quite enjoying Ant Strachan on comms

Yes, but the less said about Tonu'u the better...

[kev]

Someone needs to work with Reihana on his goal kicking. Hits it well but accuracy not good enough. For me he should kick flatter.

[taniwharugby]

@kev the wind is probably in his face a but from the stadium side, so won't help, but at least 1 of those should have gone over...and then we had no chase on it

@Bones @hydro11 not to mention the Lachlan Boshier knock down in the Taranaki game , knocks the ball down like hes playing handball and waltzes over and scores Ref Angus Maybe does’nt bother checking with the TMO , and last week in the Southland game the official penalises Rob Rush for hands in the ruck whick actually comes off a Stags players knee
Head of referees Chris Pollock rang the Northland manager 2 mondays in a row to apologise for both those of those decisions
but i guess that does’nt help in that moment of game , the decision in the Stags game was costly for the Taniwha
Chris Pollock must be a busy guy on a Monday morning have seen so some horrible calls with only 3 rounds gone
He will be apologising to Waikato on Monday morning for the non obstruction try in the Hawkes Bay game and that was a shocker ironicly Angus Maybe involved again ..

[Bones]

@Steven-Harris I'm not watching that game

[Steven Harris]

@Bones just keeping you in the loop

[Bones]

@Steven-Harris that's a lot of loops
