Auckland v Northland

[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]

Aucklanders will show up for decent teams and decent competitions. See Warriors and Breakers.

Edit - how the fuck was Rayasi not at least penalised?

[Mattasaurus]

I have said it about SR - But the last 10 - 15mins of this are the same example.... the state of officiating and inconsistency does not help the quality of our game. Our discipline is poor and you cant help but think its partly because we get away with it 50% due to the inconsistency of the officiating....

[taniwharugby]

need to not fuck aaround at scrumtime, get it out
