Northland v Taranaki

[cgrant]

What happened to McNamara ?

[taniwharugby]

@cgrant been injured most of the club season, I believe he played in the Dev team trial on Sunday.

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby @cgrant ,very much a make or break season for McNamara given that he’s played possibly 30 plus matches ..
Will face some genuine competition for his place in the number 6 jersey given that Rob Rush has got that jersey locked down unless he moves back to number 8 , will also face a challenge from Rory Woods

[taniwharugby]

@Steven-Harris with Woods, McNamara, Mau'u and Saimone, that is 4 loosies from Waipu...

[Duluth]

Uluinakauvadra is out, Ma’u starts. McNamara on the bench

[Steven Harris]

Great pressure Jonah Ma’u

[Stargazer]

Oh Stephen ...

[Steven Harris]

Penalty try all day and a YC

[kev]

We are missing tackles and being opened up.

[Stargazer]

Is Brady Rush a card magnet? 2nd game, 2nd card

[Steven Harris]

Staggered thats not a Penalty try ,i would be fuming if it was on the other foot

[Duluth]

That was classy by Grindlay

[Stargazer]

Awesome through the legs pass from Pita Gus, too.

[Duluth]

Plenty of effort on defence

@Duluth said in Northland v Taranaki:

Plenty of effort on defence

We are getting run around

[Steven Harris]

Crazy that the Taniwha are still in this and leading

[Duluth]

@kev

But the scramble has been good

[Stargazer]

Missed it. Who scored for Taranaki?

[Stargazer]

Thanks commentator. It was Proffitt.

[kev]

Way too much scramble for us. First up tackles being missed. Lineout looking shaky. Attack loses structure after one phase.
