<p>I'm assuming that means no break for Francis but a ligament injury?</p>

<p>Pre-season results don't matter too much, but getting good results is some nice promotion before the season kicks off. If we keep this up, we can expect a pretty good crowd for the opener against the Highlanders.</p>

<p>Wait a minute.... I'm pretty sure only TWO Northland guys scored!  :biggrin:</p>

Was a pretty good first half by the Landers. Now Racing throwing the ball around and there's some matador defence from the Landers. <br><br>
Flicking between the 7s and this.

[Billy Tell]

Is that buckman injury serious?

[No Quarter]

Some very shit defense from both teams lol.

[antipodean]

<p>Not a bad hit out for the Clan</p>

Looked to be holding his arm in a way that looked like a broken wrist. <br><br>
Masoe with a breakdown penalty win just 5m out to seal the Racing win.
