North Harbour v Taranaki

[Higgins]

North Harbour 33 - 19 Taranaki at half time. Plenty of inventive play and running coupled with the same amount of ineffective defence has made for an open game. In all reality had Nth Harbour not made so many handling errors they could well have been close to fifty points at the break.

@african-monkey tbf I was a big fan of his at age group and expected him to kick on and become a special player, shame he hasn't.

Some big injury concerns for Harbour today: Hall, Gatland, Volavola, and Cowley-Tuioti.

@taniwharugby He just looked bigger than everyone else I thought when he was coming through. He lacks size and struggles to stay on his feet with his power game he tries to play with.

Yep, growing up he was bigger. It's just that it seems he stopped growing at 18, and everyone else got bigger..

Busted arm confirmed for Hall. Saw in a cast just before ughh

Just watching highlights.

The Li try from the Volavola mis-timed obstruction run ...... what a fucking debacle. Disgraceful refereeing, who was that clown?

[Rapido]

Matoe behaving like a complete asswipe after his first try, first time I've seen him at senior level. Will put him on my cock watch.

[Rapido]

Li's 4th try was awesome.
Dude has pace.

[Crucial]

As mentioned in another thread, I very much doubt that Li will reach an AB jersey. Very surprised the Sevens team haven't snapped him up though, they certainly need that pace.
Maybe an offer was rejected? I guess that he can still build a reasonable highlights reel in XVs to command some good pounds or Euros in a couple of years.
