Northland v Tasman
-
decent drive there
-
typical restart response....then a typical NZ style drive in traffic to be held up
-
great kick from Nock, knowing there was no one back

It's a very poor decision to keep driving over when there's so little chance of getting the ball on the ground.
-
huge drop off from our 1st 4 props to the 5th and 6th...
-
and yet another error
Better 2nd half from Nock
-
that final play sums up not only this game, but our 1st 3 really....poor ball retention.
We are giving ourselves enough chances, but our poor execution and handling are costing us big time.
We lack punch in the backs despite our pack doing well, we need to start Salmon, he at least offers a bit of go forward.
Thought Hutchings did well coming in so early too, not sure who is next in line if Mullan or Moulds are not available next week,

I was starting to get a bit concerned, but our scrum got better with KSM and probably Leppien and your's got worse and that was the difference.
We'd given a few penalties away at the start of the second half to help piggyback Northland back into contention, but then the scrum penalties eased the pressure.
