V Auckland

Then we get pinged for the same thing.

@kev this is getting embarrassing. Need Debreczeni back at 10 taking it to the line.

[kev]

Auckand are cleaning in the side all over the ruck. We need to man up.

[kev]

@J77 can’t believe we started with Hawkins.

[J77]

Matiu and Nock the only ones showing ticker at the minute.

Man ref is letting a free for all at the rucks. Almost every player going down on their hands before going for the ball,

Yep, bum move there. Hopefully that’s the end of that experiment.

[kev]

They were so offside. That is very poor.

[kev]

We lost every ruck. Need to have changed game plan and played much tighter.We basically played no rugby. Not smart enough to work out how to stay in the game.

[Machpants]

@kev every ruck was a free for all, worst ruck reffing I've seen for ages

[Steven Harris]

Ugly...!
Only player that could hold his head high was Jacob Matiu..
Full credit to Auckland.they just did not let up..enough said.

[kev]

@Steven-Harris we lost the physical battle, didn’t cope with Aucklands line speed, and individually made lots of mistakes. Coaches need to have a huge rethink. Players need to standup. Ugly is the word.

according to the M10 website, we have played Auckland 12 times since 2004

Average scoreline in those matches: Auckland 37, Northland 14...

Before last nights game average was 36-14.

So we were 4 points worse than normal, Auckland 7 points better.
