Wellington vs Northland

[taniwharugby]

what was the Welly guy having a bitch about? Looked like he wanted a fight?

[J77]

Stokes try. Countered by a soft as hell Welly try. 43-22

[taniwharugby]

@J77

shame Jackson didnt see their backs up offside behind him.

ONly 4 super soft tries so far

[Nepia]

I'm split screen watching this with the Arg v Tonga match and despite the score you haven't looked as bad as the Magpies today ... if that's any consolation.

[taniwharugby]

@Nepia nope, none.

NIce by BYrne

[J77]

Haha! Jonty Rae gets a fortuitous one. About time one went our way. Nice. 43-29

[taniwharugby]

unlucky Rae!!

[taniwharugby]

hahaha, one of those didnt lose contact ones.

[taniwharugby]

holy fuck, is that a BP?????????

[J77]

@taniwharugby it is. Now Welly stroll in after our usual narrow defence botch up.

[taniwharugby]

Defending narrow seems part of our game plan, but Leilua was way in there

@taniwharugby said in Wellington vs Northland:

And it happens again. Is it too hard to change that system on the fly, or do we just have no idea. 57-29.

[Duluth]

Classy try from Wellington. Support running great angles

[taniwharugby]

unlucky pop by Levien straight into Wellington hands, and bang....

[taniwharugby]

some decent helter skelter shown by Northland.

[J77]

Nice J Deb. 57-36

[J77]

@kev 57-36 FT

[taniwharugby]

despite the Wellington score, I am pretty happy with that.

We had some bloody good patches, and we gave them some bloody soft arse tries.

Glad they fought for 80, well done lads!

I like the look of both Rae and Byrne, Stokes had his best game, I believe that was his blazer game too.

Cherrington didnt get much to do, but hopefully he gets a start.

@J77 like one half of that. Sounds like we have not picked the best team from the start...but still have s gaping hole in midfield

[Steven Harris]

@taniwharugby agree with all you said,given the injury toll and unavailable bodies..I would have taken a 19 point loss before the game..You have got to wonder about why Jonty Rae has not been part of the playing XV sooner..thought Sam Caird was superb..happy for Aorangi Stokes, his best game in a Cambridge blue jersey ..
