Northland v Otago

[Higgins]

Looks to be a beautiful day up in Whangarei, hopefully the rugby will match the weather.

[kev]

Good start for a change.

[kev]

Turns into great start. Good support, and running lines.

[kev]

Good line D. Now the exit.

[kev]

Good exit. Well done.

[kev]

And a great try. Wow.

[Higgins]

Jeez, you'd be spewing if you blow it from here!
Northland 19 - 00 Otago after half an hour

[kev]

Some great work. And another try. Bonus point. Shit.

[Bovidae]

Otago obviously not doing their neighbours Southland any favours.

[kev]

And we give one away. But like the energy from the Taniwha.

[taniwharugby]

What was the card for?

[kev]

@taniwharugby he threw someone’s boot away

[taniwharugby]

@kev wondered if that was it...happened to someone at the other end too.

[kev]

Dumb play. Behind the line should have kicked. Come on boys.

[kev]

And another great try. Loving Gregory at centre. Giving Debreczeni a target when he runs.

[kev]

Should have been another. Not offside.

[Stargazer]

The way Otago plays is even bad for a second-string team. Obviously, they're already focusing on the semi next week. That, or they still haven't recovered from losing the Shield.

[kev]

@Stargazer Otago haven’t shown up. But good we put them away.

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer both

Although we played some rugby today, liked our attitude on defence especially

[kev]

Hard to judge with Otago useless. But good line speed on D, good work defending the line ( we have been not bad here most season), some good passing exchanges and more punch at centre.
