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

            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.

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

                7-3 Northland lead 16.45 gone

                  @squirrel said in v North Harbour:

                  I agree, by far my most favourite competition

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

                                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

                                    The most disappointing aspect is when has got the ball wide,they have looked really good,hands letting them down

                                      We’ve looked bloody lost most of the time when we’ve had the ball, which wasn’t often to be fair.
                                      I think we tried to go too wide to early and played behind the advantage line too early as we seemed to play into the hands of their rush defence.
                                      We need to get quicker ruck ball, but Harbour are getting away with slowing it down a lot.
                                      Unimpressed with Straker, as was Whitcombe obviously by dragging him after 34 minutes.

                                      Great opening try of the season by Robinson, courtesy of Rene Ranger.

                                        About the level you'd expect for the first game of the season. Only annoying thing, with debs huge boot, is being unable to exit properly

                                          Rinakama has made a massive difference on the tighthead side
