v Waikato

[Stockcar86]

Good try but hungus - should have been a try under the posts not in the corner

[Gunner]

Whoa, great try by Alaimalo to open up the scoring.

Promising start by Northland 5-0

Always a risk of a pass going to ground maybe?

(Of course if it was Masaga or Kata then it would be a clear hungus).

[Gunner]

Tough penalty. Don't see many head high tackles made only a foot off the ground.

[Gunner]

Great call taking the scrum.

The wind makes it a 50/50 chance at goal, and our line out is dodgy.

[Gunner]

Crowd favourite Ross Wright crashing over.

Beauty!

[Gunner]

Right, I'm settled into the game now, better support the sponsor and pop the top off a Red!

[Gunner]

Definite yellow, possible red?

[Gunner]

Yellow it is, which is a fair call.

We need to take advantage of this and put a few more points on, especially since we have to turn around and play into the wind.

15-0

[Gunner]

We haven't played very smart since Waikato have had a man in the bin

[Gunner]

He's gonna be in trouble

[Gunner]

Just a penalty, really?

No consistency with what we've been seeing all year.

18-0 half time. Hopefully that is enough of a lead to turn into the wind with.

[kev]

@Gunner we won't be able to kick for territory so will need to hold the ball for longer periods. But can't shut up shop.

[taniwharugby]

Fuck it's cold!.

[taniwharugby]

Me like our scrum

[taniwharugby]

Wind all but gone...clearing skies

[taniwharugby]

Holy fuck

[kev]

@taniwharugby man we look like the real deal. Winning the physical parts of the game and scoring tries out wide

[Gunner]

Wow.

Another dominant performance, deserved every bit of that 30 point win.

Shame we let them get a try as it would have been bloody awesome to get them to a donut.

I thought Guildford was supposed to be playing?

[taniwharugby]

sit back and savour this fellas, some very tough and dark times as a Northland fan (and for the players) over the years, just need to savour these moments!!

Oh me oh my did I enjoy that, YES BOY!
