Auckland v Northland
-
<p>Good to see Dan Hawkins back. Him possibly going head to head against the outstanding Simon Hickey shapes up to be one of the matchups of the round and worth the price of admission alone.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also relieved to see that Kara Pryor isn't there.</p> -

<p>2nd part made me laugh though! </p> -
<p>FFS go long in shitty conditions like that, twice!! </p>
-
<p>haha and we go short and still lose</p>
-
<p>Collier was offside. Only by a metre or so, but it was clear that he was standing in front of the half way line and Hickey kicked behind the halfway line</p>
-
<p>I guess our scrum has improved since last year....</p>
-
<p>that wasnt off side! </p>
-
<p>Taniwha lost two loosies to injury. </p>

<p>Why did it take them 36 minutes to work out that flash harry passes in the howling wind doesn't work..<br><br>
Keep it tight fullas, and we've got a chance.</p>

<p>thats if we have a forward pack in another 20 mins at this rate! </p> -
<p>Northland a chance if they keep it close. Wasn't too impressed with us kicking so much. Forwards going ok so far apart from Isi Tu'ungafasi getting smashed at scrum time as expected.</p>

<p>Isi Tu’ungafasi finally replaced after failing miserably in this examination conducted by<span style="font-size:14px;"> <span style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Namatahi Waa who has improved out of sight since becoming a full time professional. </span></span></p>
