Counties v Northland

[Duluth]

Starting now

[Duluth]

That was too easy for Counties

[taniwharugby]

multiple phases off a lineout left then right. to score easily, well composed

This ref still allows people to clear beyond the ruck a bit much

[kev]

Latu needs to hold ball

[taniwharugby]

@kev trying to do too much.

I hate when refs call 'dont touch the 9' why are they protected? Anyone else standing there in his position is free game, but not allowed to touch the one wearing a 9.

[taniwharugby]

lineout still poor

Can’t build pressure when you make mistakes

[kev]

We are passive in contact. No one is getting over the ball.

[taniwharugby]

@kev just passive in general, seems no fire, no energy out there.

[Duluth]

Agree with both of you. They should get Matich out there soon. He’ll lead an attitude shift

[taniwharugby]

Apoua already looking tired....we arent playing poorly, but we look so flat.

[taniwharugby]

ref let them off with 2 not straights, then they make 60m....chips all falling on thier side

Two tough ruck penalties as well

[kev]

No energy

[taniwharugby]

we do some good stuff, make an error and then we lose 60m and concede a try...

Just so flat

[taniwharugby]

what was that for? ref called that ok didnt he?

[kev]

No luck. Kicker jumps while trying to charge down. Unlucky.

[taniwharugby]

I'd sub Saimoni, Nock and Apoua at the break

[kev]

This ref is bs. What was that for?

[taniwharugby]

man Nock fucked that up going blind, then we blow yet another chance
