Northland v Auckland

@Chiefy07 said in Northland v Auckland:

Given the nature of some of our performances so far, I think the coach is going to be under some pressure to turn the performances around. I think we performed better under Leslie and he only had a month or 2 to get the team ready.

I don’t expect improvement until next year. I think this year is already gone. The performance against Manawatu was the indication of where we are at for me. Be interested to see how they build and train the squad for next year.

Some of the young guys have really impressed.

Messy start

Terrible kick for touch by Reihana

[Duluth]

Very good kick return by Plummer

[Duluth]

Wow Taele. He shouldn’t have been able to get past Evan’s like that

[kev]

Smarter play Northland

[taniwharugby]

@kev Apoua nearly blew it going over bodies...

[Duluth]

Plummer could cover fullback at Test level

[taniwharugby]

We are hanging on by a thread...

No game sense, making too many errors and making no ground with the ball

[kev]

@taniwharugby the wind in the 2nd half should help. Hope we don’t fall away. Having a strong scrum has helped but typically the bench hasn’t performed as well.

So sick of Ben O’Thief.

[Duluth]

Classy offload by Zarn

[taniwharugby]

Nicely done

Not much resistance there now. All that possession is starting to matter

[taniwharugby]
