Northland v Otago

[antipodean]

Northland look asleep. Terrible first 10 mins.

[taniwharugby]

We were abysmal in this fixture last year...

[J77]

Back to our usual bullshit by the looks.

Northland should come out of the changing sheds....

Need some shoulders in some tackles

[taniwharugby]

@kev and get the ball and not kick it

[taniwharugby]

Musta missed half a dozen tackles at least already

[kev]

Needed that

[taniwharugby]

I hate watching Nock at the back of those rucks

[taniwharugby]

Stupid rule...

[taniwharugby]

Not sure he was really was all over that with one arm under a player...

[taniwharugby]

We are too deep...long advantage but ref had signalled advantage still on.

[kev]

Just not good enough with mistakes - lineout and kick. Two mistakes and 90 metres.

[taniwharugby]

@kev shoulda gone for 3

Too dumb. We have so much time to get into this game.

[taniwharugby]

Thought Tua might have been a high contact there

[taniwharugby]

Ref letting players go straight off feet at rucks

[taniwharugby]

Needed that!

[Dice]

Good recovery by the Taniwha after being down 17 - 0 after 9 minutes.

[taniwharugby]

Poor exit off the restart then a good scramble to get out of our half to finish the first 40

[kev]

We just lack the polish to keep the pressure on. But get the feeling our tight five might have the edge.
