QF - Canterbury vs Northland
-
@Steven-Harris accuracy
-
Lucky pen I'd say after we knocked it on 5 sec earlier
-
Just go to a short lineout ..still in this

The front has worked
-
@Steven-Harris I realise long is better to attack but we have struggled at lineout so go quick to the front
-
We need to take some of these chances we are getting
-
We get caught well behind the gainline all the time
-
If Northland had a bit more game I reckon Canterbury would be in real trouble.

Attack is just wrong. Slow, wide, crossfield. Need to narrow it up.
-
@kev and too deep, and so we bring on Hawlins who stands deeper...let's see if he can conjure something
-
Scrum is our weapon. Yes.
-
Nock best game of the season
-
Lessgo Northland
-
Take the 3
-
Jeez he didn't release Murray
-
Ranger unlucky
-
@kev yeah he was on it for a long time
-
Unlucky on Ranger
-
Gotta say our maul defende has been pretty decent today
-
Gee the Northland scrum got fucking folded
-
Scrums been all over today...we won a couple of pens they won a few...
-
Good stuff George
-
Take the 3
-
-
Strange decision. I would have gone for the try
-
Long advantage for a.knock on
-
So close Northland. Canterbury are definitely beatable.

Very strange. By kicking the 3 you still need a try and you have to start again from deep in your own half with 4 minutes left.
-
Much better than I thought after the first 2 minutes
-
Gotta say we had our chances, but failed to take most of them, Canterbury did what was required.
-
Well played Canterbury, unlucky Northland. Similar to the Wellington vs Hawkes Bay game before. Canterbury rushed out to a lead, Northland came back but weren’t quite good enough to finish the job.
-
The thing about that, is with better control ( coaching ) we could have won that. A game we were given no chance in.
-
Congratulations to Canterbury, Good season from the Taniwha especially given they have played most of the season without skipper Tom Robinson and Chris Apoua , and losing Moulds and then the 2 Goodhue Boys ..could have been so much better ..
Full credit to Matt Matich for the what he’s bought to this team and doing such an awesome job as skipper -

Oddly, despite being the first time we won 6 in a sesson since 1997, that statement there seems to be there for us every year
-
Why did we not go for the lineout?
-
Congrats Canterbury. Hats off to a very good second half from us. Made them sweat. Bring on 2023, lots to be positive about.
-
Shame about the first 20mins. It was a pretty even contest after that
3 teams have limped into the semis so far

MOTM poll for Northland
https://www.forum.thesilverfern.com/topic/5632/northland-motm-v-canterbury -
while that result was what I expected, I'm pretty pleased with most of what we showed in that 2nd spell, although plenty of odd decisions out there today, not least that last penalty, but TBH, the way our attack has been, I dont think it woulda made alot of difference.
Canterbury was Canterbury, good start and then efficient from there and did the job.
While a few of Mabeys calls we iffy (both ways) thought he was largely pretty good.
Think with a bit more accuracy and smarts, we could have taken that, but it wasnt to be!
I think there are at least a few lads that played today, that probably wont pull on that Cambridge blue strip again, shame they couldnt bow out on a high, but it is what it is.
-
By god I'm proud of what we did today. Nobody gave Northland a chance and we ran them right to the wire. That Hohaia yellow card ( lucky not to be a red) was the difference in the end. It was looking like a cricket score after 15 mins but the lads turned things around and made them sweat.
Memorable season for us long suffering Taniwha fans... hope we can build on this next year and continue to push the more fancied sides.
