Championship Final - Hawke's Bay v Northland

[kev]

@taniwharugby yeah best team all season.

Got to say that our backline looks awful with Hawkins at 1st. He is so passive and behind the game line.

In the second half we just needed some cool heads to slow things down and get to the next set piece. But too many 50 50 choices after you haven’t had the ball just turn it over.

Tua has come of age. Gregory is still not a fullback but will be great player in time.

What fucking retards are booing?

That's disgraceful. Very poor form.

@KiwiMurph yeah 5 weeks ago, I thought we were gonna be lucky to make the top 4, let alone the final.

I said semi was par for this squad, final is a decent result, just lacking the finish, a few players who as a fan, I cant see why they are there

BUt its if we can build on this is the key!!

It's a Sophies Choice for NZR.

While the Taniwha players are getting medals?
I think it’s Northland supporters saying ‘BLUE’ isn’t it?

If not, yea they’re fucking retards.

[Yeetyaah]

Stop booing you fuckheads

I hope it's that. Hopefully one of the TSF posters at the game will be able to tell us.

Up here we don’t know what kissing your sister is like, so will just have to believe you on that one.

@Gunner you're mistaking me from someone who lives in Invercargill.

Fixed.

Unfortunately that result was as many predicted.

But jeez the Tani’s made a game of it, well in the first half anyway.

Congrats to HB who just totally dominated the 2nd 40 and deserved the win after a dominant season.

Didn’t have a bearing on the result but the standard of refereeing in NZ is bloody poor. Ref missed heaps and also found a lot of infringements that weren’t there tonight.

Fuck you Hawkes Bay. Dicks

No, it wasn’t booing.

It was a good group of Northland supporters yelling “Blue”

@Gunner Like to think we can build from this. Some young players starting to look really good. Hope we have the confidence to develop them. Caird will be a big loss.

Thought so, takes a well trained ear to pick up the difference between boo and bloo.

[taniwharugby]

My pick...

Yessssssssss, Championship winners and promoted back to the Premiership again. Whether we get to play in the Premiership next season is another matter, but we're back in the highest division now and it's well-deserved.
