Northland v Waikato

[taniwharugby]

man our throwing to the back has been poor today, another short forward pass missed there.

[kev]

Copper has had a good game but 2nd kick in 22 was not the option.

[Yeetyaah]

Go upstairs you piston wristed gibbon

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah never gonna see anythign with the cameras they have there

[Yeetyaah]

Yay scrum fuck arounds

[taniwharugby]

not too smart by Waikato going for scrum

[Yeetyaah]

Why a scrum? Wasting 2 minutes. For once the commentators are talking sense.

[Yeetyaah]

Why the fuck would they go for a scrum

[Yeetyaah]

Do they not realise how much time is on the clock? Tap and go then try for another.

[Yeetyaah]

Good Northland win ruined by disgraceful refereeing. That being said, Waikato played like shit.

[taniwharugby]

well I'll be damned!!

Fucking sweet!

@J77 waiting in Kaikohe!

[kev]

@J77 if we play smart and reduce errors we can compete. Most games we hand the ball over, kick poorly and end up playing no rugby. Still lots of work to do. Example was Rene who in the first half was disciplined and did not throw 50 50 offloads was great. In the second he started to free up a bit but generally was so effective.

[kev]

@Yeetyaah Waikato had the game won in the first 40 but missed their opportunities. Then I think the heat got to them and nothing happened in 2nd 40.

[Yeetyaah]

@kev fair but the yellow was bullshit and Northland scored twice during that period.

[kev]

Great game from Johnny Cooper. Pulled from last game and dropped before injuries game him a second chance. On after 5 minutes. The 1st cross kick was ballsy but the second when we had a man up was a low % play. His only misstep really. His kicking from hand (getting us around the field) and for points was good.

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah although the YC was based on poor tmo advice to ref...no big screen

[kev]

@Yeetyaah we scored before the yellow so once I think? Agree the YC was BS.
