v Counties-Manukau

[taniwharugby]

Isn't that a penalty? Or was there a deal?

[taniwharugby]

God our line out is a shambles today...it had been humming along ok last few weeks too

[taniwharugby]

We are playing average but ref is allowing a lot of players go off their feet and the odd shoulder without arms.

[taniwharugby]

Need a rocket now! Can't even blame that half on storM week.

Not making much with our ball and falling off a number of tackles too.

Positive is our continuity when we do have it, our scrum is solid.

[J77]

I'm surprised we are only behind by 6.

C-M way more tenacious, they're getting up in our faces and we just can't break through.

Nock and Ram are a two man band at the moment.

Our wide defence will get split open if we don't pull finger...

[taniwharugby]

Perfect start...

[taniwharugby]

We need a bit of luck if we want to get this game

[taniwharugby]

Offside and a shoulder charge

[taniwharugby]

Great call by Moulds rewarded!

[taniwharugby]

Why take Moulds off so soon?

[taniwharugby]

Ram again!

[taniwharugby]

Some superb work undone by an unforced error...

[African Monkey]

Blake Hohaia has made a difference since coming on.

[taniwharugby]

Fluffy #2 on for Ram...id probably have taken Pryor as ram has been strong

[taniwharugby]

Surely that was taking out a defender with someone pushing Alaimalo?

[taniwharugby]

Poor again...these lapses killing us this season

[kev]

@taniwharugby field position all important. We should have kicked from 1st phase given the time we had.

[taniwharugby]

Gutting for Hohaia, looked good today and his other minutes...

[taniwharugby]

@kev re emphasizes the decision making in the closing quarter without our captain

[taniwharugby]

How did we lose that after a fortuitous bounce
