Southland vs. North Harbour

Bwahahah. 36-0 and a couple minutes till halftime.

HARBOUR SUCKS

I think Southland are playing better rugby than they have since the 1980's, so Harbour don't suck that much, they were shown up by a better team. Southland will make the semis this year and i'm excited.

Southland got beaten by a shocking Auckland team though

They beat themselves.

Having not had the RS for about 1/2 a century would add a certain amount of pressure and they didn't cope with that. General competition is a different story.

Harbour sux? You mean the province that produced the brilliant Luke McAlister and Tony Woodcock?

YOU MEAN THE TEAM THAT BEFORE THE WEEKEND SAT ABOVE AUCKLAND ON THE NPC LADDER!!!

The province that has never won anything?

Sure we have. North Harbour was part of Auckland for many NPC title winning years

NPC started 78
Harbour split off 85, correct?

...

mmmm. I think it was quite a few years after that actually. 1990-ish?

Confirmed: 1985

hmmm. rully. I was younger than I thought I was. Either that or I was in the pubs earlier than I was supposed to be


so how many titles in between 78 and 85 do we have to split between the unions?

Hawkes Bay just put 45 points on Counties-Manakau, so that makes over 100 points posted this weekend against the three "Auckland" Unions. WTF is going wrong in the greater Auckland area???

Umm, yet again one game syndrome rears its ugly head

We won the last championship, dude

Auckland has played more than one terrible game this season, and this coming Super Comp we will see how good Pat Lam really is when he tries to pull a team together from 3 ragged unions .

Ali would make a lot of difference... but if I were him Id be staying down South
