Northland v Hawkes Bay
-
Well, that was another of from the 'where did that come from' book.
Jonah Mau'u was outstanding, absolutely huge out there, as was Rob Rush.
This kid Woods looks the business, add a few kgs to his frame, and he'll be good.
Nock was excellent, one of his better games on both sides, and Milo-Harris was superb when he came on too.
Goodhue provides a good option at 12, just runs straight and makes good decisions on both sides of the ball, Tua had a bit more life tonight too.
As above, really stoked for Tama Anderson, thought he copped a raw deal being overlooked earlier in the season, but he did really well out there, played smart, good under the high ball and picked up a good double as he overshadowed his wing counterpart Murray who was solid.
Thought the ref missed some stuff both ways, that try Flanders scored, but called back from the ref in the way, was off a crooked lineout, Moulds balked one earlier, some long static mauls and a few scrums i thought she let do nothing but otherwise thought she let things flow pretty well.
Did they call on the TMO in that game?

@taniwharugby and Reihana keeps getting better. Goal kicking was superb tonight as was kicking game.

The ref definitely missed stuff both ways, and I understand from a losing team perspective this only gets scrutinised more, but that game flowed and both teams got to express themselves.. more so us thankfully.
Can't blame Maggie, I thought she was better than most of the male refs we've seen in all games this year!

Awesome from Northland 9s and loosies. They were the difference with the HB stars a bit quiet. Thought the ref did well but maybe HB unlucky on some calls.
That's not strictly true, there's only so much McClutchie, Flanders and to a lesser extent Fakatava can do on their own in a diss-functioning team.
But as a team Northland definitely had it over the Magpies.
