Wellington v North Harbour (RS)

[Duluth]

Harbour with the same 23 as the last match. I doubt any team has done that this year

[Canes4life]

As a Welly fan I’m a bit worried about this game. We don’t usually play well in Porirua and that North Harbour side has enough firepower to upset.

[BerhamporeNinja]

Weird, Lions havent even named their team yet ? 🤦🏽‍♂️

I reckon the shield will head north...

@taniwharugby said in Wellington v North Harbour (RS):

I reckon the shield will head north... next weekend.

Spoiler

I'm dreaming

[BerhamporeNinja]

@Stargazer apart from TJ on the wing looks like a full send kinda team. I'd rather Higgjns on 12 and PUJ on wing . Handy impact . It's gna be cracker but Lions will be too good

[Duluth]

Great width from Harbour

[Stargazer]

@Duluth They've started the game well.

Now almost a try.

[Stargazer]

Oops, that wasn't so good from Harbour. Not sure what Shaun Stevenson was thinking ...

[Stargazer]

Good team try scored by Losi Filipo; Against the run of play. Harbour won't be happy with their mistakes.

7 - 0 Wellington

[Stargazer]

Oh oh, checking a hit by Shields on Stevenson for head contact. Stevenson still on the ground.

[Stargazer]

Shoulder to shoulder. Must have been a stinger that kept Stevenson down.

Harbour butchers the resulting penalty kick. Scrum Wellington.

[mikey07]

@Stargazer Probably more trying to milk the penalty, then shows his class with a hand to TJ Clarkes face.

[Stargazer]

@mikey07 Nah, it didn't look like that at all.

[Stargazer]

Penalty goal Gatland.

7 - 3 Wellington

And another bad restart from Morgan, who should be used to this kind of wind.

[Stargazer]

That was a nice little kick from PU-J and Proctor scores. Wellington extend their lead.

[Stargazer]

14 - 3 Wellington

[Stargazer]

Proctor handing Harbour the three points, by tackling Leo off the ball.

HT: Wellington 14 - 6 Harbour

[Canes4life]

Wellington get stronger with Higgins coming on after halftime.
