@Tim was the 2nd time he kicked too

taniwharugby

scrum surely?

Yeetyaah

Why make all the ground then kick? I know there was advantage but they were smashing up front.

KiwiMurph

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.

Tim

Should've taken a scrum!

taniwharugby

absolute pile of shit.

We didnt deserve that anyway

antipodean

Northland terrible. How do you play a man up for 75% of the game, against a team without a hooker and lose?

Yeetyaah

Disappointing. Northland shit the bed at the end. Really dumb stuff.

taniwharugby

just dumb decision after dumb decision, that goes to the coaches too, taking 3 of our best, Goodhue, Nock & Olsen off with 5 to go!!

Gregory wanted the ball when Wiseguy kicked it.

Gutsy from Auckland to take their chances.

Dice

Fortunate to get away with that. Hopefully we get our first stringers back next week.

Adams gets my man of the match. He was everywhere in that 2nd half.

If anyone was still wondrring why Wiseguy hasn't been playing today more than answered that question. Apart from one good chip into the corner his kicking was awful and it cost us big

Jesus sounds like a hell of a game in a weird sort of way haha. Will have to watch when I get home from work.

Up 8-0 at halftime too.

Tuipulotu in a sling. Not good.

Hopefully WRK is back soon.

@Dice Number six from Auckland went alright?

taniwharugby

I'm so pissed about that, not worth going into the issues with the 2nd last try Auckland got, cos it should never have been that close.

Just dumb decisions week in week out, handling shite again.

Those 2 kicks by Grant and the final one by Faiane...just dumb.

I agree. He was one of our better forwards today.

@Dice You need to beat Canterbury, everyone else has...

Crazy game

I'm happy with the effort in that second half. The amount of work on defence was huge and the tries were well taken.

It was a bit windy out there but the quality of passing from Northland was poor. 14 man defence was constantly stretched and Northland just couldn't get it wide enough.

Refs were shit. Missed a lot both ways
