v North Harbour

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby doing some written stuff for media works and will and I will chuck in some coms on this blog

[taniwharugby]

@steven-harris I'm listening on the radio...

[Steven Harris]

Good line speed earns Harbour a pen at breakdown

[Machpants]

And garland missed a sitter.

[taniwharugby]

Not a good start by the sounds...lucky Garland is kicking poorly.

[Machpants]

All harbour, another ruck turn over edit sorry maul turn over.

They're on attack in centre 22

[Steven Harris]

Brilliant Northland Try and con

[Machpants]

Awesome try! Good defence, one harbour error and length of the field try -ranger not fast but good stepping and line

[Stargazer]

After watching Gatland during these first 11 minutes of the game, I fear for the Highlanders next season. Hopefully, he's just a bit rusty.

[Machpants]

Lol Bryn had been awful with the boot, taniwha full back could teach Elton some rules

[Squirrel]

Its been scrappy rugby apart from that Northland try. Still, its great to have this comp back.

7-3 Northland lead 16.45 gone

[Higgins]

@squirrel said in v North Harbour:

I agree, by far my most favourite competition

[taniwharugby]

Hope gatland keeps this up.

[Steven Harris]

Last couple of scrums Harbour have had the edge

[taniwharugby]

Our scrum struggling by the sounds...not good.

[Steven Harris]

Too much field position as well,get to halftime

[taniwharugby]

@steven-harris doesn't sound very good...not enough possession or territory, likely to bite us in 2nd 40

[taniwharugby]

Wtf...get out of our 22.

I'm out for a while....

[Gunner]

God we’ve been awful in the first 30 minutes.

Scrum shit.
Sloppy passing under pressure.
No go forward.
Defence has been good, but we’re lucky Harbour have been poor and haven’t capitalised on our shitness.

Harbour in now, seemed inevitable after being camped in our end all game.

Try to Dillion Hunt,Far too much time spent in their own 22,if you are to use someone to carry the football out of your 22,use Hyland
