Championship Final - Hawke's Bay v Northland

[Yeetyaah]

Don't talk during the anthem Rene

[taniwharugby]

our kicking needs to be spot on tonight, chasers especially.

Baker thinks hes back playing sevens (I wish he was) with the quick throw in with half the Northland team there already.

[Yeetyaah]

Dunno who I want to win tbh. Kinda like both of these teams evenly. Hawkes Bay probably deserve to go to the premiership, but if Northland win then I won't feel so bad about Waikato losing to them.

Fuck it. I just hope both teams have fun.

Haha Luatangi Li loves scring tries at McLean park. He got 2 there in the shield clash iirc.

[Yeetyaah]

Cringe every time the commentators say "Taniwhas" with an S on the end.

[antipodean]

How was that lineout judged straight?

[Magpie_in_aus]

I obviously want HB to win. I have one reason I don't want us to....

[antipodean]

This game is not characterised by great defence so far.

[taniwharugby]

@antipodean last few weeks havent been..

Grant playing well.

[taniwharugby]

poor kick and poor chase

[taniwharugby]

dont ya just love all the time spent setting scrums

[taniwharugby]

what a try....that pass of Tua is excellent, threw a cracker last week too

[taniwharugby]

wanted to see a replay of that

[taniwharugby]

Ranger could be in trouble

[African Monkey]

@taniwharugby Don't see any problem with that.

[taniwharugby]

@African-Monkey doesnt look that bad on replay

[Canes4life]

McClutchie’s size could be the reason he’s not picking up a Super contract. He really does look like a boy amongst men, been absolutely minced about three times. Fair play to him though, he keeps getting back up.

[taniwharugby]

still some very poor decisiosn being made

[frazzerbazzer]

Why did fakatava do the kick
