I think Southland can do this, playing much better than i thought they would a couple of weeks ago

Been impressed by Nicole, wouldn't have guessed he's a winger after seeing him in sevens (much like I wouldn't have guessed Curry is a centre). Seems to have that vibe similar to Jordan (obviously not at the same level) where he seems to be doing nothing but is dangerous as.

Weird for me too. The sevens guys are in positions that I would never have guessed.

I'd already mentioned curry as a centre somewhere, it just seems so odd.

Hey, they've enlisted Marino's twin!! Brought in as injury replacement?

[African Monkey]

Possible upset on the cards I feel.

You think that NH will win?

[African Monkey]

@Bovidae Yeah they have a good record down there in recent seasons and with Hall and Hunt finally making way for better players, we should see a much better Harbour side this week.

[taniwharugby]

Southland looking sharp on attack making some good yards, pretty tough penalty I reckon

[taniwharugby]

try gone begging from that dumb pass by NH 8

Poor play from Inisi. Could’ve just taken the tackle.

It’s a very scrappy start from both sides.

[ACT Crusader]

Another poor pass with a try in the offering. This time from Southland.

[Tim]

That right wing has made a shitload of mistakes.

[taniwharugby]

messy passage, somehow Selby-Rickett steals NH ball, and immediately has it ripped away

[taniwharugby]

suspect pass to get that try, but good build up by NH

[taniwharugby]

the bounces off that kick, perfect!

[taniwharugby]

unlucky, well worked move...

[taniwharugby]

ok, I hate how the ref makes a mark for the penalty, and then players use that as the start point of thier run up for a kick
