North Harbour v Waikato

[Bovidae]

Shock, horror. A team named early.

Filipo is still persisting with 3 props on the bench instead of bringing in another loose forward. I thought that Cook-Savage might be back for this game.

Harbour finding some room out wide in the first few minutes

[Yeetyaah]

Hands straight on the ground first but not releasing

[Duluth]

Nice try set up by Edmed

Maka has had some good runs again. SR sides should have a good look at him

[Grooter]

Great try Stevenson

[Duluth]

The good version of Stevenson is playing today.

[Yeetyaah]

Not obstruction?

[Yeetyaah]

No arms from Shooter lmfao what is this ref

[Yeetyaah]

Christ Williams is having a shocker. Norris didn't use his arms either.

[Frank]

Is Suafoa injured. I thought he played for North Harbour.

[Yeetyaah]

Fark me that chip from the ranga was crazy

[Yeetyaah]

More obstruction missed holy shit this is crazy

[Yeetyaah]

Tough watch for a Waikato fan. This team can't do the basics properly.

[Duluth]

Harbour have scored some great tries this season

I presume he is. He’s normally the captain of NH

[ARHS]

Dreadfully disjointed Waikato team this season. Kemara has lost all confidence. Cruden needs to start now. Tucker is badly missed.
Well done Harbour. The Inisi brothers pack a real punch.

Yeah, a disappointing 2nd half. Made all the more painful with the Harbour fluffers in commentary. I ended up watching with the volume down.
