Steamers v Manawatu

[KiwiPie]

We're the complete opposite of ruthless

[Donsteppa]

A long overdue yellow card. Should have been close to a penalty try.

[Higgins]

That was lucky it was mot a penalty try

[Donsteppa]

Finally a penalty try vs the worlds worst scrum.

[Donsteppa]

Go the clock!

[Gunner]

This really has been a dull game.

Southland might give these teams a run for their money on current evidence.

FFS Campbell !!!!!

Southland? Have they found backs who can tackle in the last hour?

[Donsteppa]

Good thing we can scrum.

[KiwiPie]

Well let's get out of there quick with the points. Huge incompetence, good defence and massive scrummage power off the bench. Hopefully we can beat Southland and that will be enough for top 4 ....

[Donsteppa]

Bring back Delany.

Still, 2 wins from 4!

[GagaBoy]

A win is a win! Tough physical game... Manawatu failed to capitalise when given the chance. Surprising given we couldn't catch a high ball!

We lacked a little patience for 60 minutes, then the BOP forwards muscled up as the game progressed. Given the potential we have in our backline, interesting that we eventually won it up front.

Campbell was terrible - not sure what his rationale was in the last 20... the platform was good enough. Ioane is great - Super rugby for him next year unless they do a 'Tupe' on him.

Sadly backs in Southland rugby don't get much tackle practice. Too much 10 man rugby gets played down there. If you get the ball kicked to you, you are expected to either kick it back or run straight back to your forwards so normal mud cuddles can resume.
No wonder DMac got out of there before getting ruined.
