    I think you're right Gunner - they're going for extra size. As TR mentioned it's a bit of a risk given Robinsons experience. Also surprised they've left out Ram - he's been excellent for us. Surely 8 days is long enough to get a rest. Ram isn't the biggest but is a very strong ball carrier and given his stats from last weeks game it is a surprise he's been left out.

    We're weakened by injury - apparently 12 players sitting with nursey in the sick bay.

    Big blow is Foketi, our 13, is out straight after scoring a hat-trick v Otago. Sevens player Teddy Stanaway starts joining other Sevens players Regan Ware and Isaac Te Aute in the bacline.

    getting the excuses in early 😉

    I know a few Taniwha fans that are heading down!

    We have about 4 out that would likely be starters or on the bench.

    BOP fairly firm faves head to head at the TAB - $1.40 vs $2.80
    Northland points start +7.5 @$1.87 (was +8.5 about 15 mins ago)

    Always a good time to get excuses in.

    Should be a close game, both teams are good are leaking tries and not bad at scoring them!

    @Chiefy trying to win some line out ball. thats why robinson will be in there, starting to wonder why Nevell aint stepping up in that set piece, with his size he should be able to dominate the front.

    Peter Breen has to sort out his kicking. Very poor midfield bomb inside our half changed the momentum of this game.

    Followed by dumb play by Robinson.

    What value does Warren Dunn add at the moment?

    How was that not a knock on by BOP way back on half way. Crap.

    Keep the updates coming Kev - this isn't on Sky UK so couldn't record it to watch later. Any updates would be brilliant!

    45 - 18 from soft intercept. FFS this team is lacking direction.

    I think we started on the wrong foot with the rotation.

    Very disappointing, but not at all surprising.

    Are we the dumbest team on earth. Why not scrum when you finally have put your best props on?

    we certainly seem to make far too many poor decisions.

    The pain is over and the review begins. This was our test match, we failed miserably. Only once we put the reserves on did we look ok.

    Was Kara Pryor injured? He looked off.

    Holy hell.
    Pretty pleased I was busy this evening.

    I can't see where a win is going to come from this year.
