Auckland v Northland

Mattasaurus

entertaining game, but woeful defense

taniwharugby

wow great kick, 17-19

Bovidae

When Auckland get their offload game going and quick ruck ball they are so hard to stop. But then they concede soft tries through turnovers.

We have had no territory or possession and 2 yellow cards. Go figure.

@Bovidae both sides with some average defence.

Given Auckland must have 75%+ possession and likely higher territory, and had almost since the 15th minute 15 v 14, they wont be happy.

Northland, if they can sort thier discipline, and make a few more tackles, they have a shot

@taniwharugby horrible penalty count

taniwharugby

@kev been like that for a few seasons now....

Less people at ground than you would see at Okara park. Dreadful for NZs biggest city. Take away the Northland supporters and….

Mattasaurus

Hmm that was a bit of a shambles all round.. both teams and ref..... just a bit of a mess

Aucklanders will show up for decent teams and decent competitions. See Warriors and Breakers.

Edit - how the fuck was Rayasi not at least penalised?
