Auckland v Northland

[taniwharugby]

that score with a man down too

[Mattasaurus]

entertaining game, but woeful defense

[taniwharugby]

wow great kick, 17-19

[Bovidae]

When Auckland get their offload game going and quick ruck ball they are so hard to stop. But then they concede soft tries through turnovers.

[kev]

We have had no territory or possession and 2 yellow cards. Go figure.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae both sides with some average defence.

Given Auckland must have 75%+ possession and likely higher territory, and had almost since the 15th minute 15 v 14, they wont be happy.

Northland, if they can sort thier discipline, and make a few more tackles, they have a shot

[kev]

@taniwharugby horrible penalty count

[taniwharugby]

@kev been like that for a few seasons now....

[kev]

Less people at ground than you would see at Okara park. Dreadful for NZs biggest city. Take away the Northland supporters and….

[Mattasaurus]

How long is Akira out for?

[taniwharugby]

bit of a directionless passage there by us

[taniwharugby]

better defence and discipline there

[taniwharugby]

gotta love scrum penalties...

[taniwharugby]

he hasnt done much wrong, but think that is the 2nd one of those he has dropped cold this season...?

[taniwharugby]

neck roll on Rob Rush there

[taniwharugby]

plenty of infringements by both teams in that passage...

[Mattasaurus]

Hmm that was a bit of a shambles all round.. both teams and ref..... just a bit of a mess

[KiwiMurph]

I love how the rubbish Auckland coaching staff haven't adjusted to Northland flooding the breakdown

[Mattasaurus]

Forearm to the face there from Rayasi

[Mattasaurus]
