Taranaki v Northland

[taniwharugby]

Henhad his head on the ground ffs

[Stargazer]

Because I saw the Northland TH prop pull up his shirt high, I had a question (not saying that was his intention):

Is it legal for players to pull up their jersey with the intention of making it harder for opposition players to grab their jersey in an attempted tackle? And what about the scrum, where they need their opponent's jersey for the bind?

[taniwharugby]

No gate at ruck now?

[taniwharugby]

@Stargazer that was Parete pulling it up wasn't it?

They wrapped round the side. Hate that.

[kev]

Parete is an ill disciplined niggly player. Could have been penalised multiple times for mauls on their line - entry, lifting legs. Comes out all attitude. Dick.

[taniwharugby]

Limp end following a poor call by Ranger to kick that...needed to go deep if he kicked.

8-0...coulda been worse.

We still look a little laboured at times, defence solid, need to try to involved Tua, Macilai and Moorby more.

Would like Heremaia on sooner rather than later for Leilua

[kev]

What about front runner?

[taniwharugby]

I don't like our habit of sending 1 man rushing out

[Stargazer]

This is a terrible game of rugby.
