Northland v Waikato

[Yeetyaah]

Shit half from both sides really. Waikato ballsed up 2 potential tries.

[taniwharugby]

well 15 minutes of the best rugby we played in weeks, and the rest more of what we served up recently

POsitives is we are stil well in this, just need to be a bit more patient and make our tackles and we can win this.

Shame we gave away that intercept try though, we were just getting on top then and it broke any momentum we looked to be gaining

[kev]

@taniwharugby if they can stay alert and work better on D they are competing at set piece.

[taniwharugby]

ref has been pretty good overall, but missed some basic stuff too

[kev]

@taniwharugby yeah the not straight just after he called one was disappointing. But most calls fair.

[taniwharugby]

@kev not to mention the quick throw in the opening passage...he missed one of our not straights too.

[kev]

@kev Cooper playing well given he was pulled last week and dropped for this week.

[kev]

@taniwharugby yeah I wondered about that not being 5.

[taniwharugby]

@kev think it was more it looked several players were set, he wasnt even aware of what was going in.

[taniwharugby]

I like Tui Raeli, did a coaching course with him and think he would be a big part of making a good culture in this team

[taniwharugby]

what is it with us kicking in the 22!!!

[kev]

That’s tough

[taniwharugby]

looked clear he was over the line, but no way you seeing anything there

[taniwharugby]

I wish refs wold make players kick from the mark, not >1m in front

[taniwharugby]

guess with the advantage you go for the cut out pass...smart play by Cooper

[J77]

I rest my case with our 10 selections.. Awesome form Cooper

[KiwiMurph]

Great try.

Tua really seems to suit 12.

[Yeetyaah]

Lmao Te Whare-Crosby can't beat a hooker in the air. Julian Savea alert.

[taniwharugby]

came off for a change, but gee not sure I like all ths kicking in the 22

[Yeetyaah]

"use the ball." Nock: takes 5 more seconds. What's even the point?
