Northland v North Harbour

[Duluth]

Haha NH has let in some very soft tries

[Duluth]

Nice try Evans. Also that was another example of why Stevenson doesn't get selected for Test matches

[mikey07]

Anyone wondering why Stevenson isn’t an All Black that pathetic attempt at a tackle is why.

[Duluth]

NH having a meltdown this half

Stevenson having a shocker, Evans and Reihana pulling the strings off the back of the pack setting a platform

[Kirwan]

Man, Northland have been excellent. Stevenson should never be an All Black, lol.

They look classy. Reihana running more and looks good.

[Kirwan]

Reihana has looked good, Evan’s been impressive

I hope nobody has a drinking game going on for Pod saying “There’s no doubt about it “

[Kirwan]

I miss Trainor playing for Auckland, good player

[taniwharugby]

We stopped playing rugby for a.period...but I think that should seal it

It's been a tough day for him, he also commentated his other team (HB) last night

[Kirwan]

Some of this defence from Harbour is embarrassing. North Auckland just want it more

[Kirwan]

Right commentator for a basketball score

[Kirwan]

Great result, lots of direct play

[Bovidae]

I only saw the 2nd half but you wouldn't have thought that Northland missed more tackles. A bit like last night's game where the tackle stats weren't an indication of the result.

[taniwharugby]

@Bovidae yeah we didnt play that well, scored a few good tries, but we missed alot of first up tackles, whereas most other weeks our first up defence has been pretty good but the unstructured stuff we fell apart.

But gee, NH were poor today, we were better fortunately.

My thoughts as well. NH were awful. I think our starting team was probably the best mix we have our on the field this year. Just need to nail lineouts on attack and we would have scored more points.

Missed tackles were 27 Northland to 25 NH

I think some of Harbour's defensive errors didn't count as missed tackles because the defenders were so far away

I spent a lot of time watching him, he's great on attack and has an awesome kick. But he's lazy and sulky, once NH was having a mare he had a face like a slapped arse and really put fuck all effort in.

Very enjoyable game, fun tries. But no panhead, only in the posh lounges I guess,
