Otago v Northland

[taniwharugby]

not given chance to place it, but no cleaners either

[KiwiMurph]

In creating a list in my head of fullbacks I would rather have in the ABs than Beauden I would add Sam Gilbert.

He can kick the ball a long way and can goal kick.

you had me at that

[KiwiMurph]

A minties moment for young Leslie

[Stargazer]

Oops, Leslie won't want to see the replay of that kick and following try.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer one for his dad....

[taniwharugby]

great continuity by OTago but matched by Northland defence

Dance of the desperates.

Got heat for this, but feeling like this was a fair call. This is a game being played between two fairly dire outfits in terms of output.

[taniwharugby]

@frugby so happy for you

[frugby]

@taniwharugby It isn't what either of us want, but surely you can concede this is a hard watch?

[taniwharugby]

@frugby no where near as hard as the ab game.

Odd decision to card Goodhue so quickly?

[frugby]

@taniwharugby jeepers, big call! Otago play like they bloody have to score on the first phase, and get penalised if they are tackled. HOLD THE BALL.

@SouthernMann said in Otago v Northland:

Arscott is rubbish. Don't know why he keeps on getting picked ahead of Hastie

Hastie not even on the bench lol. Like seriously?

[kev]

Ref allowing Otago to go off their feet

[taniwharugby]

playing with AB smarts out there...

[taniwharugby]

Otagos weight of possesson and territory pays dividends

[Gunner]

This is seriously bad rugby from Northland.

Just absolute fucking garbage.

[taniwharugby]

@Gunner watched the AB gameplan and thought they could make it work

[frugby]

@taniwharugby Not sure it is gameplan, more so a lack of basics. Poor passing, catching, kicking, etc.

[taniwharugby]

@frugby yeah same as the ABs
