Manawatu v Northland
-
@taniwharugby bit of a surprise for me given that Sweetman was in the initial Taniwha squad and Jurlina who is a 6/8 came in as replacement cover ..
In terms of height Jurlina is around 6’2 ,Sweetman 6’3/6’4
Information I am getting Jurlina has a better understanding of the lineout calls .
Good they also have Rory Woods on the bench -
Keep the attitude the same as last week and we'll win.. do what we often do after a win, and we'll lose a pivotal match.
I hope the right version of us turns up!
These are the ones we need to nail, as often in season wash ups they become big regrets. Don't let it be a coulda, woulda, shoulda...Jurlina at lock had me scratching my head, would have probably started Sweetman. To me, Jurlina is purely a loosie and not big enough for lock..but we will see I suppose. Looking forward to see Rory Woods get a run, good to see these younger dudes getting their shot.

Radio commentators saying Stan van der Hoven is South African. I guess they only saw his name and didn't do any research?
The comment was made when they said that Manawatū had brought in a whole group of South African players.
I know they picked up Momsen in the MLR and, of course, there's Viljoen. Not sure they have more South Africans?

Well worked try, poor midfield defence
-
Normal transmission resumes for us, poor execution and dumb play
-
Wtf

Good call to takenthe points...soak up some time

What an odd advantage

This is soft as fuck.

I like Brady chases hard, but gee nonpoint if you ain't gonna get hands on the recipient and create pressure
-
Refs rarely blow for.players going off feet over the ruck any more
