v Southland

[kev]

Good to see Gregory getting start at 2nd five. Thought he really committed himself last week on Wing. If he brings that same physicality we will do well. Noah Cooper is a smart footballer so deserves his start as well.

I only just noticed that Southland have Jesse MacDonald from Ta$man on the bench. He didn't make the Ta$man Mako squad and was named in the Ta$man development team a month ago. I had to look it up; he made his debut for Southland against Otago and was called up as injury cover for their reserve hooker.

Crap start again.

[kev]

@kev mixed lineouts. Knockons. Need to spark up.

[kev]

@kev 3 lineouts lost in a row.

[kev]

@kev almost 4 and then we score a try. Good work by forwards.

[kev]

@kev and conversion. yes.

Isi Tu'ungafasi looks a different player these days. He was unbelievably bad at Auckland.

[kev]

Nock runs and scores. Now 14 - 3 . Keep going.

[kev]

@kev and another. 19 - 3. Keep going.

[Stargazer]

I feel sorry for Southland, but really, their games are so predictable and boring. I can't bear watching them play for more than 40 minutes; it's utter misery.

[kev]

We are much better when we attack a bit wider....

[kev]

Need to keep pace up in second half.

Did the camera catch the Southland guy forearm to rangers face right in front of the touchy?

[nakosi]

what kind of rugby is this utter sh*t?
northland should put 80 past them they're a disgrace to this sport

[kev]

@taniwharugby no missed that.

[kev]

Man we are playing crap. Hold onto the ball.

[nakosi]

shame on both sides

[kev]

@nakosi we will improve.

[nakosi]

Poor kicking, lost lineouts, forward passes, lots balls at contacts, dumb penalties .

cut my stream.
