Southland v Northland

[fidz71]

This game is "the dance of the desperates" as my Dad calls it... lose this one and I'm pretty confident we will end up bottom of the table at season's end. Fingers crossed for some spark that we just haven't seen yet. Moorby back thankfully, which should help, and Jack is one hell of a good sub to bring on. Come on boys, give us something to cheer about.

I missed the start of this game; any changes in the line-ups?

[Steven Harris]

@Stargazer non that i’m aware of

[Steven Harris]

Tough call against the stags ,turnover looked ok

[taniwharugby]

@Steven-Harris chaser was in front, son end result correct haha

[Steven Harris]

Lot of field position and ball but needed more than 3

[taniwharugby]

Still struggling to break the line

[J77]

Heremaia Murray has had a great start. Moorbys presence already showing too.
Just need to be a bit more creative on attack

[taniwharugby]

Too many first up tackles being missed

[J77]

Can't turn this into a shit fight..Stags love that crap

[taniwharugby]

Brady keeps drifting in, good pressure on the chase but needs.to be smarter about it

[Steven Harris]

Nel off for an HIA

[taniwharugby]

Too much messing about, it's wet, throw to the front

[taniwharugby]

Basics, ref and us...

[taniwharugby]

Banks playing that on the deck of that ruck

[taniwharugby]

Poor call, that justnpopped out the side

[Stargazer]

HT: Southland 9 - 3 Northland

[Chiefy07]

That was a really poor call to finish the half.

Our set piece is letting us down. Need to get Murray involved more - has been strong so far.

Southland hooker seems a good prospect, his throwing has been very accurate

[taniwharugby]

As always, inaccuracies and little errors costing us.

While we look better on attack, we still lack a bit of sting.

[J77]

Need to bring the bench on straight away, roll the sleeves up and smoke these bastards. We are getting sucked right into their game..
