Southland v Northland

[kev]

@taniwharugby just a lack of energy. Players drifting in and out of game. Fitness or execution?

[taniwharugby]

Given we got 2 10s for the 'dual pivot' our kicking game is shite.

[Steven Harris]

Northland chase line is far too individual, they have been burnt on at least 4 occasions

Lots of guys running in as well.

Perfect example. Reihana runs in. Two defenders in same space leaving attacker free.

[taniwharugby]

@kev we always defend narrow, wings usually give thier opposite the sideline and space

[taniwharugby]

We need to get back into the game...

[kev]

They didn’t release on ground. Hence ball held up for turnover. Unlucky.

[Stargazer]

Come on Northland. I had faith in you when I made my tippings. Don't disappoint!

[taniwharugby]

@kev he's been a bit quick on some of his calls at ruck time, and too slow on others

Mmm you like to take risks then

[taniwharugby]

@machpants I flipped a coin...

[kev]

That backline move says it all. Laboured, ball passed high, players grabbing, knock on.

[kev]

Poor kicking, blind side defence, and lack of fitness.

[taniwharugby]

Our disipline is woeful with that penalty count

It's really painful too watch

And if you are in your half it’s points.

[Machpants]

Both teams kicking for points is impressive tho

[taniwharugby]

We lost 13m in that passage, and 1 player ran 5m...our depth and slow play going forward is a concern
