The whole saga has affected Nationals polling.

Wee fulla came out of it alright, nearly got fallen on by mum.

A much better performance than last year. So many close games this year. This will be Nepo Laulala's last game for us for a while he will be back in the AB's this time next year health permitting.

Big Nepo doing the job

14 to 12 half time, Counties lead.

Sione Molia on for Nanai-Seturo blood bin and scores. Counties ahead 14 to 7

7 all, Try to Ah Wong off a maul. A couple of backs added to the line out 5m out then maul off that.

Counties making dumb lineout calls, getting picked off.
