@Nepia well here's the last 2 matches when we challenged HB for the shield
2015 - HB 39 Nthld 10
2020 - HB 33 Nthld 17I reckon HB will score more tonight, something like 42-25
I’ve never hoped a prediction from a Northlander would be more correct than right now!

@kev oh always, but when you look across that HB 1-23, we will need to be on top form to roll them.
Am worried after our scrum last week as Apoua really struggled, if we cant hold our scrum up, will be a long night.
The Coach backs Apoua. The scrummaging start last week was poor but they got better. He is not that mobile so he has to deliver at that phase. They were mostly good against Canterbury.
-
was a long 2 seconds call at that maul, that collapsed and took more time to come out
-
Best game I’ve seen McCluthie play. He’s playing very well. Playing inside Matt Giteau and Ma’a Nonu at the Legion this year would have been a great experience for him.
-
Jacob Devery has been very strong at hooker. Hopefully he’s the back-up to Aumua for the Canes and we don’t lose him to another franchise.
-
HB into thier stride now
-
good try, poor tackling at times too...
HB looking good with ball in hand
-
This is a fun game to watch.
-
McClutchie in early into the second half. He’s having a blinder. Love that he’s attacking everything, none of this kicking bullshit.
-
like last week, as soon as they get behind our first line of d, we are gettign opened up.
Game is so fickle, Murray was a fingertip from a likely score, 2 mins later HB score, then they do so again after halftime....need to sub NOck and Apoua
Shield safe.
-
McClutchie definitely outplaying Reihana tonight. If he doesn’t get a Super contract this time around, these coaches have rocks in their head.

@Donsteppa I changed my highest scorer from HB to Wellington...
