Northland midfielder Warren Dunn shows his disappointment after Wellington score a try.
If Northland were in need of a new theme song, Billie Holiday's Gloomy Sunday might just be the appropriate tune to subdue the hangover of their 29-0 ITM Cup round three loss to the Wellington Lions.
Returning home yesterday with empty hands once again, the dejected Taniwha outfit now face
a difficult task if they are to find the winning track for their 2015 mix tape.
"It was a bit disappointing, particularly at the start. It was the third time in a row that we've started poorly," head coach Richie Harris said.
Apart from a good patch of play before halftime and a lift in effort midway through the second half, Northland struggled for flow and consistency throughout the Wellington encounter.
"The disappointing thing was their try right after halftime off the kickoff, it was a real body blow that one," Harris said.
