10-6 to the Taniwha at HT

[Grooter]

Not gonna lie I didn't read the Northland subs so Jack coming on has taken me by surprise! Great to see him back playing

[Crucial]

10-16 after 55

[KiwiMurph]

That rule pisses me off.

As a defensive team if you charge the ball down and it goes dead you should get more reward

I much prefer hand crafted scores, from the pure hearts of true rugby fans. 😘

Playing well.
If Robinson is the player Blues fans like to pump him up as, he should be standing out at this level. He only stands out from the neck up.

[Yeetyaah]

Missed forward passes seem to be a big theme in the NPC this year

[Yeetyaah]

This ref has been promoted too quickly. Northalnd flopping all over the ruck.

[Yeetyaah]

Hard fought battle. Terrible ref.

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah Waikato got away with off side all night....that said, they deserved the win.

Our lineout, scrum. and handling not good enough

[Yeetyaah]

@taniwharugby so did Northland, point stands, awful ref.

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah Waikato handling was exceptional in the damp conditions.

Dmacs positioning is so good though, can see his class.

Thought Goodhue made a difference when he came on, should have been at half time for ranger.

Tua didn't look happy being subbed for a half back.

12 might end up being Leuila's best position. He's like a traditional 12 with a power running game.

[Yeetyaah]

@taniwharugby yeah was pissing down eh. Northland defs had some chances, I honestly wasn't feeling too confident after the last couple of games against them.

Get Fozzie on the phone.

[taniwharugby]

@Yeetyaah wasn't as bad at the ground as it looked on TV...was just annoying misty showers.

Northland have history in having young out of their depth refs blooded on them. Pity is that they go on to bigger things without improving. Cough-Pickerell-cough
