Waikato v Northland

[taniwharugby]

still nothing official yet, but some of those under injury clouds at start of week are falling over...Evans and Renton both with niggles, so yeah, that will make it much more interesting if they fall over too.

Pasitoa likely out, Jade Stewart promoted to get his debut, Rueben Stewart to bench.

The Waikato team. 50th game for George Dyer. I doubt Waikato has started the same XV in consecutive games all season.

[taniwharugby]

Confirmed that Reihana and Pasitoa out, although graphic shows the Stewart brothers playing at 10 and 12 (and Reuben is wearing the 10 in the image) so assume Evans staying at 13 and back 3 unchanged.

[Bovidae]

Both teams will be Ta$man supporters for the weekend.

[taniwharugby]

Surprised that was awarded so quickly...

[taniwharugby]

Man that was dumb.

Nice try though

By Waikato 6?

[taniwharugby]

Yeah the YC

[taniwharugby]

Well taken by Waikato, looked a small knock on way back but too far to review

[booboo]

Replay going on on the Stan stream.

First knocked on by Northland into Waikato who knocked it on back into him.

Too many phases to call back I think.

[taniwharugby]

Somenaverage defence by us to trail at the break.

[booboo]

14-12 to Waikato at half time.

Entertaining game.

[taniwharugby]

Yet to see why coach keeps giving minutes to Balekana, Alaimalo has been poor again, not a centre.

[booboo]

Disappointed with the mascot race. They should have let the kid/calf win.

[taniwharugby]

Great width there, shame about the nfl pass to finish...

[taniwharugby]

Aside from the card, Malachi Wrampling has been strong
