Waikato vs North Harbour

[Tim]

Interesting that Stevenson is covering 10 again.

[Stargazer]

@tim Can Bryn Hall cover 10 in case of injury?

[Tim]

@stargazer I think he's played there for his club.

[African Monkey]

He played a bit there at schoolboy level. He wasn't bad there but only as a last resort option. Are there no backup first-fives in the North Harbour club scene?

[Tim]

@african-monkey There's one in the squad, but maybe he's injured?

[Tim]

Who went off for Manu?

[Nepia]

Good play by Hall and Li for that try. (Seems weird to type that.)

[Tim]

Duffie is so out of form, and so low on confidence.

Good grubber though.

[Nepia]

Reece did his best Kata impersonation and got bundled into touch after a good run.

[Tim]

Li held back O'Donnell there. Stevenson getting some great distance on the kicks. How strong is the wind?

And now he gets a turnover.

[African Monkey]

@tim Looks very strong.

[Tim]

Weak tackle attempt from Taramai.

Not liking Harbour's backs this year. Very side to side. Gatland looking a step down from last year's model.

Also, kick the easy penalties!

[Tim]

Another bad tackle miss. FFS.

[Tim]

LOL, Duffie is having having his best half so far this year.

[Nepia]

Stevenson blew that, luckily they got there in the end. Taramai in.

@Tim Clearly if you complain about a player they start doing good stuff.

When the fuck is this going to start with Michael Collins?

[JK]

Another uninspiring win but fark it’s a win and unbeaten 2/2 albeit with average performances vs average teams

[Bovidae]

Groundhog day.

Iosefa-Scott has shown previously he isn't up to it at this level. Momentum in the 2nd half changed on one scrum. Where the fuck is Kautai?

[OleOleOle]

@bovidae Kautai was playing for the development team. I understand he was sent there to get game time under his belt and show that he actually want to play rugby...
