Southland v Northland

kev

They didn’t release on ground. Hence ball held up for turnover. Unlucky.

Stargazer

Come on Northland. I had faith in you when I made my tippings. Don't disappoint!

@kev he's been a bit quick on some of his calls at ruck time, and too slow on others

Mmm you like to take risks then

taniwharugby

@machpants I flipped a coin...

kev

That backline move says it all. Laboured, ball passed high, players grabbing, knock on.

kev

Poor kicking, blind side defence, and lack of fitness.

Our disipline is woeful with that penalty count

Machpants

Our disipline is woeful with that penalty count

It's really painful too watch

And if you are in your half it’s points.

Machpants

Both teams kicking for points is impressive tho

taniwharugby

We lost 13m in that passage, and 1 player ran 5m...our depth and slow play going forward is a concern

kev

Scrum could be a weapon for us this half….

kev

That was ?

Stargazer

Hmmm, not sure I agree with that decision. How was that grounding clear and obvious?

Chiefy07

That is a disgraceful call by the TMO. Doesn't get worse than that

J77

Hometown TMO. Blatant as you like. Will cost us the game that call.

kev

We look ragged. Individuals playing in a team.

kev

Side cleanout.

Side cleanout

That annoys me off. Goodhue gets hit by a guy offside, they kick 50 and score.
