Southland v Northland

[muddyriver]

Very strong team named.

I will not be surprised i f they can win the comp from here, as they realistically should be doing.

Will paper over the cracks of this coaching setup, but great for the team and the Province if they can pull it off.

again...is a shame really, on paper we have one of the strongest squads we have put together for years, yet there is definitely something missing, and some of the stuff you hear around the traps from a variety of sources is worrying.

Still, hearing some decent signings on the table for next season, just need the coaching team to up thier game.

Done

Rene Ranger just needs to kick sometimes.

[taniwharugby]

That was a deliberate knock if ever I saw one...

[taniwharugby]

But of a quick call for a maul

[taniwharugby]

Nice by Leilua!

[Machpants]

Gawd he's a crap commentator 'shoulda let that go' bollocks, he didn't do kick it, should be a turn over

[Machpants]

That was awful defence

[kev]

That comes from being unfit. A number of Northland players just walking. Then making poor defensive reads.

[taniwharugby]

@kev very slow to respond by a number of players

Godown. Just awful, guys walking back from Southland 22

[kev]

@taniwharugby just a lack of energy. Players drifting in and out of game. Fitness or execution?

[taniwharugby]

Given we got 2 10s for the 'dual pivot' our kicking game is shite.

[Steven Harris]

Northland chase line is far too individual, they have been burnt on at least 4 occasions
