Northland v Otago
-
@kev were several passages of play after multiple phases at ended because players seemed to not know what to do next...prime was when nock got tied up in the ruck, ball sits at the back fornthem to take...in that instance I think we had advantage...
We seem to be plugging a very short side alot this year.
I didn't mind the scrum call, it was just we, as we do often, had a randomly poor scrum and then went blind when the.scrum had turned slightly making blind wrong...not to mention nock made easy for Hammington who called 8 off early.

I think the scrum got worse with subs. Thought Te Whata Colley was hinging and looked weak at scrum time. I really wondered about the scrum option given Otago were not competing on the line so free throw. But as you say it wasn’t a terrible option but terrible execution.

Jeez we were lucky, played 15 minutes of good rugby, the first 10 and the last 5
Lentjes kept us in the game for the middle 65 min

@kiwiwomble fair play to your boys , rewarded for some very impressive defence.., not entirely sure what to make of your team , on paper it looks a very strong team with plenty of Super Rugby experience and an All Black first five to direct them around.

Lentjes had a good game. I felt after Northland woke up around the 15th minute through to the late stages they'd overcome and snatch a win. But the lack of discipline and errors cost them in the end.

@antipodean can't like that cos it's true...we could have put 40 on the board last night, but lack of discipline, poor options and not being able to adjust on the fly signs of a poorly coached team

Yeah, what I find most annoying is we had several players that I thought played well, arscott, ioane, koroi, lentjes and Gilbert all played well….just rarely at the same time or not in the same way
Northland applied a lot of pressure, I think one or two better passes or options and yeah, they could have put 40 on us in those middle 65 minutes

@kiwiwomble Nel was very good in the first 30, quiet for about 30 then very good again...

Agree with that.

Yeah, nel, Jackson and tucker were all very good at different times, it’s frustrating
