Ranfurly Shield - Waikato v North Harbour
-
<p>And Tevita Li ruins any chance of a comeback.</p>
-
<p>There is more obstruction than that at every lineout. Bullshit call</p>
-
<p>Comments from after the game:</p>
<p>(1) Both midfields were porous on defence - some woeful defending.</p>
<p>(2) Boss looks old and slow (which he is).</p>
<p>(3) I was impressed with the NH castoff Manihera with ball in hand</p>
<p>(4) Fraser seemed to have a completely different interpretation of the new breakdown laws (e.g., attacking players going off their feet were ignored).</p>
<p>(5) We won :whistle:</p> -

<p>Manihera was one of those guys who I thought would make a fist of things but seemed to go awol. No sure. Maybe injuries. He is probably getting up in age now.</p> -

<p>He's only 23 so he's still relatively young. Got a few games for the Blues a couple of seasons back iirc.</p> -

<p>Oh wow. Yes I remember he was in the Blues about 3 years ago so he has time to develop.</p>
